j2ee_admin user account locked repeatedly

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi All,

When the password of j2ee_admin is changed, we are able to deploy our web dynpro applications a few times before j2ee_admin is locked automatically due to incorrect logins. We have specified the correct password for j2ee_admin in config tool(secure store tab). Not sure what is causing the locking of the j2ee_admin account.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Gangadharayya.

Hi,

If you forgot or lock "Administrator or J2EE_ADMIN" password just follow below steps:

STEP-1: Enable "SAP*"

1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat

Ex: D:\usr\sap\F02\JC00\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat

2.Goto cluster-data --> Global server configuration --> services --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service

3.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.activated = TRUE"

4.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.password=<Enter any password ex: abc123>"

5.Save.

6.Restart the engine.

STEP-2: Login with "SAP*" into portal

1. http://<host>:<Port>/useradmin/index.jsp

2. Enter userid / password as" SAP* / <password ex: abc123>"

3. Search for "Administrator" user

4. Reset or change password for "Administrtor"

STEP-3: Disable "SAP*"

1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat

Ex: D:\usr\sap\F02\JC00\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat

2.Goto cluster-data --> Global server configuration --> services --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service

3.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.activated = FALSE"

4.Save.

5. Restart the engine.

STEP-4: Login with "Administrator"

1. http://<host>:<Port>/useradmin/index.jsp

2. Enter userid / Password as "Administrator / <password>

3. it will ask change password just change it.

Note: Just increase the no.of invalid_attemps during the deployment then make it according to your standereds.

1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat

Ex: D:\usr\sap\F02\JC00\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat

Hi Nagaraju,

I followed the steps and was able to logon using sap* to http://hostname:50200 -> Netweaver administrator -> System Management -> administration -> Identity Management.

However, when I am trying to change the j2ee_admin password, I am getting the error

---

An error occurred in the persistence. The original message (possibly not translated) was: "Attribute "lockreason" on namespace "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement" of principal "UACC.R3_DATASOURCE.J2EE_ADMIN" is not modifiable.". Contact your system administrator

---

Please advise.

Thanks,

if you have the j2ee run as add in, the modification of users in j2ee is locked.

you can modify the users in abap (SU01), this will be used as ume Userstore.

Hi,

I had this problem. Follow the below steps.

Can you check for this property "No password change required" - in your visual Admin?

For this one please follow below steps.

Open "Visual Administrator" in that "Cluster> Server>Services-->Security Provider"

Goto "Runtime" - tab and then "User Management". Search for the user "J2EE_Admin" and double click on the user name to get the user management property sheet. There you can find "No password change required". If it is not checked, please check that one. then that password wont expire for every deployment.

Gangadharayya,

Open "Visual Administrator" and go to "Cluster>Server>Services-->Security Provider"

Choose "Runtime" tab and then "User Management". Search for the user "J2EE_Admin" and double click on the user name to get the user management property sheet. Check if the "No password change required" check box is checked or not..If this checkbox is not checked then the password will expire repeatedly.

Sometimes, <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3a/4a0640d7b28f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Activating the Emergency User</a> will be helpful.

We are having the same issues:

J2EE gets repeatedly locked out. We cannot log into the Visual Administrator with J2EE_Admin.

Our box is checked. We unlock it with SAP* then reset the server only to find J2EE_ADMIN locked again.

Hi malar,

I have had the same problem of the J2EE_ADMIN user was locked.

The best solution, if you have the NetWeaver 2004s, UME activated with APAB.

unlock the J2EE_ADMIN user with the transaction code SU01.

The J2EE_ADMIN is located in the client 001.

Hi All,

I was facing the same problem, until I found that I was using the J2EE_ADMIN as the user for the SLD Data Provider, and that was the reason for the locks.

In the Visual Administrator -> server -> services -> SLD you have to change the password for the HTTP settings and the CIM settings.

Hope this help.
