Answer: B,C

To configure Password Self Service (PSS) in SAP Access Control to allow end users to reset their password and process changes to their name, you need to perform the following actions:

B. Maintain target system connector setting for PSS

C. Activate the PSS workflow Process ID

Maintaining the target system connector setting for PSS ensures that the target system can communicate with SAP Access Control for the PSS functionality. Activating the PSS workflow Process ID makes sure the workflow for password self-service is activated and ready for use.

Option A, deactivating password maintenance for the target system in transaction SU01, is not correct because SU01 is the transaction to maintain users in the SAP system, and disabling password maintenance here would prevent users from changing their passwords, which contradicts the goal of enabling PSS.

Option D, setting PSS parameter value to YES in AC Configuration settings, is not a standard configuration step for PSS in SAP Access Control as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. However, the configuration steps can change based on specific system settings, updates, or customizations. It’s recommended to check the most up-to-date SAP documentation or contact SAP Support for the latest information.
