• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 10086 - Simple password check is not allowed for destination type 4 ?

  The SAP error message "10086 Simple password check is not allowed for destination type 4" typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of a destination in the SAP system, particularly when using a destination type that requires more secure authentication methods.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system attempts to use a simple password check (which is less secure) for a destination that is configured to require a more secure authentication method. Destination type 4 usually refers to a connection type that requires secure authentication, such as RFC (Remote Function Call) connections to other SAP systems or external systems.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Locate the destination that is causing the error.
  Check the settings for the destination, particularly the "Logon & Security" tab.
  
  
  
  Change Authentication Method:
  
  If the destination is set to use a simple password, change it to use a more secure authentication method. This could involve using a secure network connection (like SNC) or configuring the destination to use a user with a more secure password policy.
  Ensure that the user credentials used for the destination are valid and comply with the security policies of both the source and target systems.
  
  
  
  Use Secure Network Communication (SNC):
  
  If applicable, consider implementing SNC for secure communication between systems. This will require additional configuration on both the source and target systems.
  
  
  
  Review Security Policies:
  
  Check the security policies of your organization regarding password complexity and authentication methods. Ensure that the settings in SAP align with these policies.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the connection from the source system to the destination to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation regarding RFC destinations and authentication methods for more detailed information on configuring secure connections.
  System Logs: Look at system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and establish a secure connection to the desired destination.
