Passwords on SAP R/3 4.6C

This section applies to SAP R/3 4.6C only. It is relevant for CA Identity Manager and CA CloudMinder. It is not relevant for CA RCM.

Before you enter the password to acquire the endpoint, you need to know the SAP basis version you want to acquire and enter your password accordingly.

• For SAP 4.6C, the password must contain uppercase letters only.
• For SAP basis version 640, the password can use uppercase and lowercase letters.
• For SAP basis version 700 and above, passwords are case-sensitive.

The connector.xml file contains the following flag:

convertPasswordToUpperCase

If the SAP basis version is equal to or higher than 700, CA Identity Manager ignores this flag.

Note: This flag only applies to passwords entered when adding new accounts or changing existing accounts.

true

(Default) CA Identity Manager converts the password to all upper case when the SAP basis version is lower that 700. When the SAP basis version is equal to or higher than 700, we will just pass the password through.

false

CA Identity Manager does not convert the password, if the SAP basis version is lower than 700.
