ID Management and password reset

[Former Member]

We are interested in implementing password reset in our SAP environment. From what I can tell so far we would use the SAP HCM use case or something similar. Our ECC ABAP system is where our users authenticate too now. We would like to have the ability to let users change the password in this system through ID Man's password reset system. Is this possible? If a user changes a password in ID Man will it change the password on the ECC system? Thanks

Hi Matt,

you can for sure use the capabilities of SAP NetWeaver Identity Management for resetting passwords in your systems. You basically have to do an initial load from your systems and then use the Reset Password workflow. You can also write a tiny script which distributes the passwords to the connected systems.

Be aware that distributed passwords have to be changed on the first logon if you do not use SNC (for ABAP) and SSL (for Java systems).
