Hello Ronald -
- AS Java uses SSL not SNC for encryption
- The requirement for SNC for permanent passwords comes from the ABAP server (a check is done there) and is mandatory for setting productive (permanent) passwords otherwise an initial password will be set for the user that must be changed at first logon
- when you set a password in IdM this stores it in the attribute MX_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD i.e. yes there is automatic encryption of passwords
In terms of seeing the value of MX_PASSWORD_DISABLED you need to use a display task in the UI with this attribute set as one of the display attributes.
