Password requirement - parameter 'login/password_expiration_time'

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have setup value for parameter 'login/password_expiration_time' (Dates until password must be changed) to 60 and so forcing users to change their password every 60 days.

But we have some super users and admin(s), whom we have to exclude from this rule.

Any idea how could we achieve this requirement?

Thanks,

Karan.

There is NO REASON why password expiration should not be used for super users especially admin users etc. It is even worse these UID’s are so powerfull that they MUST be changed. So please tell the users that!!!

If you think about interface or background users then the solution is simple, make them system users and you do not have to change passwords anymore for these!

Hi Auke,

Thanks for your feedback and I have assigned points on your reply.

And I completely agree with you to use password expiration, specially for superuser and admin along with other users.

Is there any way to avoid this requirement for any 'dialog' users?

Thanks,

Karan.

To change this behaviour you will find no standard way.

As a compromise you can change the user type from dialog to service. As a service user they need'nt change their password.
