The AS Java must be able to access the database of the AS Java.
In emergency situations, you can activate the emergency user SAP* to enable you to log on to applications, in particular the configuration tools, and change the configuration. Such situations include the following:
You configured user management incorrectly and can no longer log on to any applications
You configured the data source incorrectly and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) does not start
All administrator users are locked
The SAP* user has full administrator authorizations. For security reasons, the SAP* user does not have a default password, so you must specify a password when you activate the user.
Once you have activated the SAP* user, no other user can log in to the system.
Activate the SAP* user:
Start the config tool for editing user management engine (UME) properties as described in Editing UME Properties .
Set the following properties:
Property |
Value |
Comment |
---|---|---|
ume.superadmin.activated |
true |
This activates the SAP* user. |
ume.superadmin.password |
<password> |
Enter any password of your choice. This defines the password for the SAP* user. |
Restart the AS Java.
The SAP* user is now activated. While it is activated, all other users are deactivated. You can only log on with the SAP* user.
Fix your configuration as required, logging on with the user ID SAP* and the password you specified.
When you have fixed your configuration, deactivate the SAP* user again.
Start the config tool for editing UME properties.
Set the property ume.superadmin.activated to false.
Restart the AS Java.
