• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CMIS_M_10081 - User SAP* is used for RFC destination for receiver system ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_M_10081 indicates that the user SAP is being used for the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination to connect to a receiver system. This is generally not recommended due to security concerns, as the user SAP is a standard user with broad access rights, which can pose a risk if exploited.
  Cause:
  
  Use of Standard User: The RFC destination is configured to use the standard user **SAP***, which is not advisable for production environments.
  Security Best Practices: Using standard users for RFC connections violates security best practices, as these accounts can be easily targeted by malicious actors.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Dedicated User: Instead of using the standard user **SAP***, create a dedicated user for the RFC connection. This user should have the necessary authorizations to perform the required tasks but should not have excessive privileges.
  
  
  Update RFC Destination: 
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Find the relevant RFC destination that is causing the error.
  Change the user credentials to the newly created dedicated user.
  
  
  
  Assign Appropriate Roles: Ensure that the new user has the appropriate roles and authorizations needed for the operations that will be performed through the RFC connection.
  
  
  Test the Connection: After making the changes, test the RFC connection to ensure that it works correctly with the new user.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Security Guidelines: Always follow SAP security guidelines and best practices when configuring users and RFC connections.
  Monitoring and Auditing: Regularly monitor and audit RFC connections and user activities to ensure compliance with security policies.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed steps on creating users and configuring RFC destinations.
  
  By addressing the use of the standard user **SAP*** and implementing a more secure approach, you can resolve the error CNV_CMIS_M_10081 and enhance the security of your SAP environment.
