Protect Passwords
SAP Security Automation
We now want to describe the necessary settings in the sending application using the example of encrypted sending of initial passwords. To implement this requirement, you can use the BAdI BADI_IDENTITY_UPDATE. This BAdI is also only available via a support package starting from SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.31. For details on the relevant support packages, see SAP Note 1750161. To implement the BAdIs, use the transaction SE18; there you can also see the example class CL_EXM_IM_IDENTITY_UPDATE. For the BAdI BADI_ IDENTITY_UPDATE, you must implement the SAVE method to the IF_BADI_IDENTITY_UPDATE interface.
Have you ever tried to manually track who among the users in your SAP system has critical authorizations? Depending on your level of knowledge and experience, this work can take a lot of time. If audits have also been announced, the pressure is particularly high. After all, it is difficult to fulfill all requirements regarding SAP authorizations manually.
Define S_RFC permissions using usage data
It is important that, if necessary, the database is converted to an SAP S/4HANA database. In addition, various technical system components must be analyzed and adapted to the new environment. But restructuring must also be carried out at the organizational level. For example, the "old", or current, authorization concept must be analyzed, evaluated and, if necessary, fundamentally revised.
No external services can be added manually in transaction SU24. To do this, you must turn on a permission trace that takes over. You can enable the permission trace using the auth/authorisation_trace dynamic profile parameter. You can enable this parameter by using the transaction RZ11 (Profile Parameter Maintenance) by entering the value Y as a new value and selecting the Switch to All Servers setting.
Secure your go-live additionally with "Shortcut for SAP systems". You can assign necessary SAP authorizations quickly and easily directly in the system.
As a rule, you must limit access to the result reports of the K_KEB_REP object to the result area and the report name, and limit the functions of the information system in the K_KEB_TC object, such as executing or updating reports.
Database users are users that represent a real person in the database.
