Martin,
I like your workaround. We will try this. It is certainly a better workaround than using SAP password instead of SNC...
Only concern with opening OSS is that this is a very slow process since the person who gets assigned the message is often not the right person and it usually takes many weeks/months to get the message escalated to somebody who understands what we want. This is my personal experience anyway :-)
Nevertheless, we will open a message and see what happens.
Thanks,
Tim
