We have requests to create or modify an existing user as non-expiring. how would i do it?

Thanks

Shalom Joe,

The simplest and easiest way is sam manage users settings.

You can probably learn a bit by trying to use the passwd command to change the number of days to next expire to 0 which means forever

Hey Joe,

I think easiest way is to just do it in sam.

Choose Accounts for Users and Groups.
Choose username you want to modify and then go to Actions and choose Modify Security Policies. In there you can change all security policies for that user. In your case you would choose Password Aging Policies.

Generally, you do this through sam for Generic accounts.

sam --> users and groups --> users --> select user --> Actions --> Modify Security Policies

[Gary L. Paveza, Jr.]

passwd -n 0 -x 0 -w 0

-n = min days between password changes
-x = max days a password is valid
-w = number of days prior to expiring before a user is warned about the expiration (trusted systems).

Hi,
Just do it "passwd -x -1 username".........And it would be done.
Njoy.....
