SET PASSEXP (Set Password Expiration Date)

Use this command to set the password expiration period for administrator and client node passwords.

Attention: If you do not specify either the NODE or ADMIN parameters, all client node and administrator passwords will be assigned the new password expiration period. If you explicitly set a password expiration for a node or administrator, it is not modified if you later set a password expiration for all users.

Use the QUERY STATUS command to display the password expiration period, which at installation is set to 90 days.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Syntax

Parameters

days (Required)
Specifies the number of days the password remains valid.

You can specify from 1 to 9999 if you do not specify NODE= or ADMIN=. If you specify the NODE or the ADMIN parameter, you can specify from 0 to 9999. A value of 0 means that the password never expires. If a password expires, the server prompts for a new password when the administrator or client node contacts the server.

Node
Specifies the name of the node whose password expiration period you would like to set. To specify a list of nodes, separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. This parameter is optional.

Admin
Specifies the name of the administrator whose password expiration period you would like to set. To specify a list of administrators, separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. This parameter is optional.

Examples

Task 1

Set the administrator and client node password expiration period to 45 days.

Command:
set passexp 45

Task 2

Set the administrator LARRY's password expiration period to 120 days.

Command:
set passexp 120 admin=larry
