Password expiration

[Kenrick Sy]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure in SAM the password expiration on all users that exist? My goal is to have password expiration on all users except root. Is it possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can change password expiration on system wide (by converting the system to Trusted mode) or user-per-user (even without converting the system to Trusted mode).

To reach your goal you could convert the system to Trusted mode and setting password expiration (so that would be set for all users on the system) and then go in "Accounts for Users and Groups" ---> Users and disable password aging just for root.
Note that converting to Trusted Mode means also having more restrictions on users, for example you might change password to respect rules (it has to be more than 6 characters, etc.)

Otherwise you could change password aging without converting the system to Trusted Mode but that means enabling password aging for users one-by-one.

HTH.

Best regards,

Through Command you can set the apssword expiry as per the below commands and options. But you have to do the same for each user.

passwd -r files -n 434 -w 420 -x 441 yagnes

-n â min (minimum time between password change)
-w â warning (password warning time)
-x â maximum (password expiration time)

Through SAM you can achive this by SAM > Accounts for Users and Groups > Users > Select user > Actions > Modify > Set Password Options > Enable Password Aging >
