Changed SAP password not working while resetting using BAPI

You are using the structure Password for resetting the password. It is of type BAPIPWD and comprises of a field which is again named as BAPIPWD.

When you need to reset the password, you need to specify the correct field name instead of password. The issue occurs when developers incorrectly reference the structure or use wrong field names in the BAPI call.

Solution

To properly reset the password using BAPI, you must correctly reference the password structure and set the value using the appropriate field name. Here's the correct implementation ?

JCO.Structure structPassword = userChangeInput.getStructure("PASSWORD");
structPassword.setValue(newPassword, "BAPIPWD");

Key Points

The main corrections needed are ?

• Use structPassword instead of sPassword for consistency
• Ensure the structure name PASSWORD matches the BAPI parameter exactly
• Set the value using the correct field name BAPIPWD
• Make sure the variable newPassword contains the actual password string

Conclusion

When working with SAP BAPI password reset functionality, ensure you reference the correct structure and field names to avoid authentication issues. The BAPIPWD field within the PASSWORD structure is the key to successful password updates.
