Diagnosis
The password is deactivated for user in the selected systems.
System Response
The password is deactivated, that is, the user can no longer log on to the system using a password.
This can be useful if the user can log on to the system in another way, such as:
· Using SNC (for SAP GUI and RFC-based front ends)
· Using X.509 user certificates (for Web-based front ends)
· Using SAP logon tickets (if you are using a portal / Workplace)
If you are using an SAP GUI and logging on using one of the above Single Sign-On procedures (SNC/SAP Logon Tickets), the system checks whether the user can log on by password. If the user can log on using a password, and the password needs to be changed (because it is initial or has expired), the user is prompted to change the password; the user is also given the option of deactivating the password. You can use profile parameter login/password_change_for_SSO to control this behavior. The user also has to change his or her password if it no longer fulfills the current password rules and an immediate password change is required using profile parameter login/password_compliance_to_current_policy..
As an alternative to individual password deactivation, you can deactivate password logon in general (that is, for all users), by setting profile parameter login/disable_password_logon appropriately.
The user administrator can cancel individual password deactivation by assigning a new password; if password logon is deactivated in general, assigning a new password does not mean that the user can then log on using a password.
Procedure
To deactivate the password, choose the 'Apply' (Enter) button.
