Password policy for SAP

Hi,

we face issues with SAP password generation from Saviynt. We receive error message in provisioning tries "New password cannot begin with '?' or '!' ". This is an expected behavior, as this is a system setting in SAP, which cannot be updated( see below). How can we update regex in our password policy, to prevent Saviynt from creating password which begins with these special characters? The other error we can see is "The first three characters of the password must all be different". Can this be included in regex as well?

Hi,

Can you refer the below regex for the special characters issue?

(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[~@#$%^&]).{8,16}

As you can see in the above regex, the special characters that we mention in the regex will only be allowed. Since SAP systems cannot accept the password starting with '?' and '!', we can avoid adding them in regex above.

Thanks.
