Diagnosis

General Information

The Customizing switches GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS, GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS, GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS, and GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH are used exclusively to control the password generator in transactions SU01 and SU10, and can be maintained in table PRGN_CUST. Their effect is closely connected to the profile parameters login/min_password_letters, login/min_password_digits, login/min_password_specials, and login/min_password_lng.. The password generator prevents passwords being created in accordance with the specifications of the GEN_PSW_MAX_* Customizing switches that do not also fulfill the system's password rules, in accordance with the specified profile parameters.

  • GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS - maximum number of digits in generated password
  • GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS - maximum number of letters in generated password
  • GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS - maximum number of special characters, such as @$%/)=+-<>[] in the generated password
  • GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH - maximum length of the generated password

The default value '' is used for every Customizing switch not specified in the table PRGN_CUST.

This message is displayed in the following cases: The value of the Customizing switch is smaller than the value of its corresponding profile parameter.

Example:

GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS = 0 but login/min_password_specials = 2.

(The value of GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS is ignored and the default value '' is used.)

The total of the values for all Customizing switches is smaller than the length of the password to be generated.

(The default value '' is used for all GEN_PSW_MAX_* Customizing switches)

Procedure

Adjust the values of the Customizing switches, or delete them to use the default values.
