One of the daily tasks of a service desk is unlocking users or resetting their password. This quickly leads to a demand for a self-service procedure. Therefore we will show you a simple approach on how to set up a self-service for the SAP password reset with the Easy Workload Scheduler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions Password Reset with the Easy Workload Scheduler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The workflow looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Send reset mail to mailbox<\/li>
  2. Receive confirmation email<\/li>
  3. Send back confirmation mail<\/li>
  4. Password Reset and Unlock done<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Reset Send mail to mailbox<\/h4>\n\n\n\n


    For this purpose, we combine several features of the Easy Workload Scheduler: the mailbox trigger, variables and scripting in one net.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the mail trigger we monitor an incoming mailbox and become active depending on further criteria. An SAP user can send an e-mail to a mailbox set up for such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    The network only starts up if the sender of the e-mail comes from our domain and the subject line is filled accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Receive confirmation email<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The sender will now receive an e-mail with a token which he has to send back. This ensures that he is the owner of the mailbox. The token is generated and stored using the script function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Send back confirmation mail<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    After the sender has returned the email with the token, our network receives this email and the token is checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Password Reset and Unlock is done.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n


    In the SAP system, a new password is now set for this user and the lock is removed if necessary. We use the EWS REST interface to call SAP function modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Requirements in SAP for EWS REST-Interface.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Activation of web services in the SAP system for BAPIs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Release via SOAP interface or set up individually as business services<\/li>
    • Used RFCs\/BAPIs:
      • RFC_READ_TABLE<\/li>
      • BAPI_USER_CHANGE<\/li>
      • BAPI_USER_UNLOCK<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The details can be found in the complete program code export in JSON format. You can import this into EWS as a net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


        The jobs and server connections are imported as well. Then only the server connections and e-mail addresses have to be replaced accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


        The example can then be extended to your requirements, e.g. sending alerts to the service desk for auditing purposes or alternatively to offer an unlocking only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
