Help Document

Diagnosis

You have entered a password that either consists of more than 8 characters or contains at least one lowercase letter.

Older systems or middleware components cannot process such passwords. Therefore, it is possible that you will not be able to log on to older systems or via an older middleware component with this password.

System Response

Procedure

If you are certain that you are only using password-based logon for newer systems or newer middleware components, you can ignore this warning.

Otherwise you should choose a different password, which should consist of no more than 8 characters and not contain any lowercase letters.
