Tip: When the remaining number of days to the password expiration date is
0, the password is considered valid until the end of that day (until the date of
the system time changes to the following day).
You need account privileges to display or specify the information about the
management of password expiration dates.
For the case when an account password expires, you can specify either of the
following:
• Request that the user renew the password.
• Do not allow the user to log in.
If you have specified the setting to request that the user renew the password,
and a login to a console is requested by using an expired password, the
management module displays a window for renewing the password and
allows the user to log in so that the user of the account can change the
password.
If you specify the setting to not allow the user to log in, the user becomes
unable to log in to the consoles of the management module, and the
administrator needs to change the expired password. At this time, by
specifying the setting to allow the user to change the expired password, when
a login is newly requested, the management module displays a window for
renewing the password and allows the user to log in only once, and the
account user can change his or her password.
If the password of an account with account privileges expires, the
management module prompts the user to renew the password, regardless of
the setting.
This functionality is for accounts that are registered to a management
module. For LDAP linkage, the password expiration dates are not managed
for user accounts in the LDAP directory.
In the initial setting (when shipped), the management of password expiration
dates is disabled.
