Enable saving password in SAP Short cut

SAP, Tips n Tricks, Today I Learned 1 Minute

I like using shortcut for logging into the SAP system, as I have multiple server/clients and remembering password is a little cumbersome.  Newer versions of SAP Logon pad do not allow saving password, so here are the steps:

  • First a Windows registry entry needs to be created that will make it possible to enable (or disable) the saving of passwords in a SAP shortcut. The registry entry can be created by starting the program sapshcut.exe once. The program needs to be started in administrative mode.
  • After that the next registry entry is created: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPShortcut\Security\EnablePassword. The record can be displayed or maintained with the Windows registry editor. By starting the program regedit.exe.
  • Changing the value to 1 will allow you to store the password in (SAP Logon) shortcut.
