User Lock Status In Sap

To lock a user with the passwd command, you can use the option -l or –lock in this manner: passwd -l username Verify the status of a user with passwd command. You can learn whether a user is locked or unlocked using the option -S or –status of passwd command. Passwd -S username Look at the second field in the output. Here’s what it means. To release the lock of a locked client execute the function module- SCCRUNLOCKCLIENT in Tx- SE37 and provide the locked client number. Again run Tx- SCC4 and open the client 200. The lock released and user can login to the system with this client.

Different methods to Lock or Unlock SAP users

I want to lock all the users in SAP during upgrade, support package installations etc. I know using SU10 we can do it. Any other alternative ways to lock the users.

Is there a way in SAP to unlock a locked user for a limited time, then automatically after x time set the user back to lock status?

You can fill in “valid from” and “valid until”, but you cannot say from Monday to Friday from 8 – 12:00 for part time workers.

Can we schedule to lock all users?

If users get locked, from SU01 you can unlock them.

Use SU10 to mass lock/unlock the users.

Use address data or authorisation data to get a list of users – select the ones you want and click transfer. Once this is done click on lock or unlock.

You can also use transaction code EWZ5 to mass lock/unlock the users or execute the program EWULKUSR in SE38

set a profile parameter (login/failed_user_auto_unlock) to unlock at midnight the locked users.

An ABAP code as below:

REPORT zreusrlock. DATA: time_limit TYPE sy-datum. DATA: days TYPE i VALUE 40.

time_limit = sy-datum - days. UPDATE usr02 SET uflag = 64 WHERE trdat < time_limit.

If time is not specified in the program, you can use SM37 to schedule it as a daily background job with the date and time.

Write an sqlplus SQL script that sets all the UFLAG fields in table USR02 to 64 (lock)EXCEPT for the BNAMEs you don’t want locked. When you are done, you can do the same again but change the UFLAG field to 0 (unlock).

The SQL statement would look like:

update SAPR3.USR02 set UFLAG = 64 where MANDT = <client number> and BNAME != <don’t lock user 1> and BNAME != <don’t lock user 2>;

You can replace != with <> if you want. To run this from an OS command line, you would type:

Unix/Oracle 9:–> sqlplus /nolog @<SQLpath+SQLname>
NT/Oracle 9: —> sqlplus /nolog @<SQLpath+SQLname>

To automate, in UNIX the script can be added in the crontab entries. In NT, it can automated via schedule a task.

This is another method to UNLOCK ALL users.

Start Oracle Server manager (If in Oracle Environment)
– connect internal
– update sapr3.usr02 set uflag=’0′ where mandt='<client no.>’;

Sap Status Codes

When users are locked, the uflag is set to 64. Zero (0) means user in not locked.

User Lock Status In Sap Status

To verify, use a sql query statement:

select bname, uflag from sapr3.usr02 where mandt='<client no.>’;

User Lock Status In Sap Login

Is there a way to set a list of users that cannot be locked, even if we try to lock them manually, and even if they fail connection ( wrong password )?
