Diagnosis
As of Basis release 7.0 (software component SAP_BASIS), the system supports a new type of (potentially non-backward compatible) passwords, which can consist of up to 40 characters (instead of only 8), and for which the system differentiates between upper- and lower-case.
These systems can be configured so that that only accept passwords of this new type. The system uses the code version to determine which characteristics a user password has, and the procedure with which the password hash value was calculated.
If the profile parameter login/password_downwards_compatibility is set to the value 0, the system supports only password hash values of the new type (code version 'F'). If a password hash value of the older construction type (code version 'A' / 'B' / 'D') is then received by a system of this type through CUA, the system rejects the received password. This can occur in the following cases:
- During the distribution of user data (for example, after a new password is assigned in the CUA central system), if the CUA child system has a Basis release > 6.40
- During the transfer of user master records (from a CUA child system to a CUA central system with a Basis release > 6.40
System Response
The system rejects the received password; the password is deactivated in the target system.
