Validating Passwords on Websites

July 19th, 2010 Posted in BASIS, Debugging, Monitoring

I feel a bit ordinary writing a blog post about something as trivial as one line of javascript, so I decided to include a picture as well.

Those look like passwords... They ARE passwords....

It shows a screen from the guided procedure for Solution Manager Configuration.  The interesting part is what I have done wrong.  I’m using the javascript referred to by this link ( Show Passwords ) to display the value(s) of all password fields on the current web page.

In this case, the Administrative User values are the same, but the Administrative Password fields are different.  Since they are using the same User Source (the ABAP engine), one of the values (or both !!) must be incorrect.

Save the javascript by dragging the Show Passwords link to your bookmarks, or by saving the link to your bookmarks.  This has been tested in IE6 thru IE8 and in Firefox.
