SSH-Password Expiry

Frank Norgan — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 20:23:12 GMT

I have an HP UX 11i box that is configured for SSH. User logon passwords are set to expire every 30 days on this box. When connecting via an SSH client to this box, the change password prompt (box) does not get presented to the SSH client when the user's password has expired.

We were using TELNET before SSH, and HPUX password expiry prompted users to change their expired passwords.

What is the trick to get the expiry password change request presented to the SSH client?

Thanks
Frank

Use the latest version(s) of SSH and read the release notes very carefully.

In the older versions, the password expiry and change requests didn't work.

With the latest one or two versions, some authentication settings of sshd_config need to be in specific values for the password expiry system to work. This is documented in the release notes.
