Using Web AS ABAP User Management as Data Source for the UME 

Use

If the User Management Engine (UME) of your Web Application Server Java uses the user management of an ABAP system as data source, then you need to activate a setting in the ABAP system. As a result of activating this setting, it is possible to control password behavior in the ABAP system using the UME tools. For example,  when users register themselves in the portal, they are not required to change their password straight away.

Prerequisites

During installation, you have set up the User Management Engine (UME) of your Web Application Server Java to use the user management of an ABAP system as data source.

Procedure

In the ABAP system that you have configured as the UME data source:

...

       1.      Log on as a user with administration rights.

       2.      Start transaction SM30.

       3.      In Table/View enter PRGN_CUST and choose Maintain.

       4.      Choose New Entries and enter R3PERSISTENCE as Name and YES as Value.

       5.      Save your changes.

Result

·        When users register themselves in the portal, they do not have to define a new password immediately, but are automatically logged on with the password they defined during self-registration.

·        When an administrator sets the indicator No password change required in the user management of the Visual Administrator, the user will not have to change his or her password.
