Different SAP passwords and AD passwords – selective passwords.

You might have an installation with an older SAP version where your password policy is limited compared to your Windows password policy. Then you cannot have the same password for SAP and AD and password synchronization cannot work.

You might have critical SAP systems where you do not want to have identical passwords for the SAP system and Windows. Then password synchronization and single-sign on solutions cannot work. FastPass allows users to reset passwords directly - or selectively – for different systems. In FastPass the user after authentication selects what system to reset password for, and FastPass then performs the reset and unlocks the account!!

FastPass benefits:

 

SAP password synchronization - System Management

If the user has the same User-id across all SAP and AD systems, then FastPass automatically can change the password without any Administrator interference.

If FastPass synchronizes password between different user-ids, then a User-id table is maintained.

For example John Doe might have the user-id JohnD at the AD and JoD at SAP. The administrator maintains this link via the FastPass Administration Console. Likewise the administrator can select SAP instances where synchronization is not wanted for specific users.

At the SAP system FastPass connects to SAP via a FastPass Connector and a SAP ABAP component.

Using FastPass in this way means, that even when a password is changed through Microsoft standard ‘ctrl-alt-del’ then the SAP passwords are changed.

When Multiple System Password Reset is selected by the administrator, then the user -within the limits set by the administrator - selects what applications and systems to reset passwords.

In this case the user will use FastPass to change and reset SAP passwords through the FastPass portal. The user can select multiple systems to have the same password in the same transaction; but it is the user’ choice. There will not be any automatic password synchronization.
