2548905 - Cannot change login method back to blank/null value

• User is unable to change Login_Method field from "SSO" or "PWD" back to null/blank Value via Employee Import.
• After Import changes from  "SSO" or "PWD" value back to null/blank value do not take affect.
• Changes from "SSO" to "PWD" or "PWD to SSO" or Blank/Null values to either "SSO" or "PWD" work.
• But any value in Login_Method field back to blank will import but not take effect.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

1. Export the UDF file via Admin Center -> Employee Export (see KBA 2087479 )
2. Click on Export User File
3. Open the Employee export file.
4. Modify the users Login_Method you wish to change.
5. Change a users Login_Method from either SSO to Blank or from PWD to Blank
   
      
6. Import the file via Admin Center -> Import Employee Data (see KBA 2087479 )
7. Verify the import was successful.
8. Check if the changes made were applied in the application.
9. You will see that even though the import was a success, the values have not changed.

• This is expected behavior.
• We do not support updating the Login_Method from PWD or SSO to Blank via import at any time.
• When a user Login_Method is blank the user is by default SSO.
• Having a blank Login_Method is identical to having the Login_Method set to SSO.

• If you want a user to login with SSO set the Login_Method to SSO.
• If you want a user to login with password set the Login_Method to PWD.
