SAP S/4HANA Error 4193: Local Authorization Denied
Description
This error indicates that the SAP S/4HANA system is configured to prevent users from authenticating locally when an LDAP directory service is active or expected. It typically occurs when a user attempts to log in directly to the system with a locally defined password, but the system's security settings prioritize or enforce LDAP authentication.
Error Message
ERR_LDAP_CANNOT_AUTHORIZE_LOCALLY: Local authorization not allowed
Known Causes
4 known causesSystem Policy Disallows Local Login
The SAP S/4HANA system parameters or security policies are explicitly configured to disallow local user authentication when LDAP integration is active.
User Account Mismatch
The specific user account attempting to log in is configured to use LDAP authentication exclusively, without a fallback or allowance for local authentication.
Active LDAP Requirement
The system is currently operating under a security profile or configuration that mandates all user authentication must go through the configured LDAP server.
Incorrect Authentication Profile
An active SAP security profile or parameter setting incorrectly restricts local authorization, even for accounts that might otherwise be eligible.
