Password aging: new users on 11i v2

[ITeam]

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to realise the scenario whereby all newly created users have password aging enabled. This is on an untrusted sytem.

I have previously enabled password aging on existing users using the 'passwd -x' command but am finding much of the information on how to enable this for all new users, quite frankly, confusing!

I have read details on the /etc/default/security file but I need to know that every user created from now on will be prompted (for eg) to change their password in 30 days.

Many thanks in advance.

Shalom,

To be certain your user creation script can use the passwd command to do just that.

-x or -y 30 confirm on the man page.

You can try those two commands for all the new users (/etc/default/security is for trusted system only):
/bin/passwd -r files -x 30 $USER_NAME
/bin/passwd -r files -f $USER_NAME

Thanks for the responses. I have solved this problem by amending the user copy application to include 'passwd -x', etc.
