Save Password in Logon shortcut

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am trying to create a logon shortcut but the password field getting disabled while other like user code is accepting entry. How can I save password in this field?

As It is required to pass one of our machine parameter to SAP by auto logon.

Any help will be appreciable.

User

and check

PS : Please note that by doing this you are opening your password public

   Logon information
§         Client field u2013 enter your client number. If you cannot remember your client, log on to the system using SAP Logon or SAP Logon Pad.
§         User field u2013 enter your user ID. The field usually already contains your Windows user ID.
§         Password field u2013 If the field has been activated, you can specify a password. It is normally deactivated for security reasons and only your PC administrator can activate this field. 
For security reasons, this is not recommended and a warning appears. You should only include your password in an SAP shortcut if you are certain that no one can access your PC or your disk/folder.

Hi,

To make the password field available you must change the registry key...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPShortcut\Security]

"EnablePassword"="1" it must be String Value

Hope will solve out your problem,

And one thing more it place the password in the text file in Encrypted Form not Native Language so you can't write it

Password=xyz

Just when you find this Password field available write your password there and it will automatically save and not require for next time login.

Please Reply if not Clear,

Kind Regards,

Faisal
