List of Customizing Switches for Generated Passwords

You specify the minimum requirements for generated passwords that are generated in User Maintenance (transactions SU01 and SU10) in profile parameters. Use customizing switches to define upper limits for some values. These switches correspond to the relevant profile parameters for passwords.

If you do not maintain these parameters, the respective default value is used.

The values of the system profile parameters have precedence over the customizing switch values. If the entries are contradictory, the values of the customizing switches (GEN_PSW_MAX_*) are ignored and the default values are used.
