Converting to Trusted

Hi all

When converting to trusted, what are the effects on existing accounts on the box?
Are they reoked, disabled, do passwords get reset....?

Thanks

Re: Converting to Trusted

Hi Tariq,

All the passwords will be expired immediately. You will need to notify your users about this. It is ensure that the new passwords are in compliance with the trustedness. If you don't want the passwords to be expired, then run the command 'modprdef -m exptm=0' immediately after you converted the system to trusted.

By default, three consecutive unsuccessful attempts will lock the accounts which you may want to increase. Look at "AUditing and Securiyt" area of SAM to modify the defaults after the conversion.

Re: Converting to Trusted

Is there any way the expiration can be avoided when converting? ie, accounts remain active during the conversion. Reason being there are some IDs used by batch jobs which require active accounts and passwords.
