Connecting to a CUA Master

When connecting to a CUA master system, if not using a pre-expired password, the following occurs:

• On Account Creation for both CUA Master and CUA Child

  The password is pre-expired. You must change the password upon first logon.

• On Account Modify

  CUA Master - The password is changed.

  CUA Child - The password change is not distributed to child systems. Password management must be done locally.

Note: With SAP Kernel 6.40, an attempt to change the password of an account that does not reside on the Master system will return PASSWORD NOT ALLOWED.
