May be you all must be knowing it but i found it very useful ( since habbit of forgetting password ) so thought of sharing this with you .So that you can quickly open and close sessions without wasting time in manually typing password or selecting the environment.

 

 

Create a new SAP shortcut, for the system you want to logon.

As  you can see above, By default SAP disabled the ability for users to save password. To enable it you need to tweak your Windows Registry



Steps -

    1. Enable Password Field in SAP – .

    • Start -> Run -> type REGEDIT
    • In the Registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE> SAP
    • Right click on SAP folder, then use select NEW > Key and name it SAPShortcut

      • Perform the last step but this time create a key called Security
      • Right click on Security then New > String Value. Name the string EnablePassord
      • Double click on EnablePassword and enter ’1′ in the Value Data field, then press OK and close Registry

                 As you can see above ,Password is enabled now 


      3.In the next screen keep the working directory as default ( no need to change ). Adjust the Window Size based on your preference and once complete please  press new7.jpg and your shortcut should appear on the SAP logon screen and also on  your desktop.

      Next time you double click on the shortcut on the SAP Logon Pad, it will use the saved password from the text file

      and won’t ask you for a password. And if your password is changed you can update in that shortcut directly by right click-->properties and give new password and close it simple .

      Hope it proves Useful
