Password Expiration

Time

To specify how long a user’s password is valid before it must be reset, use the following command:

set user username expire-password-in time

To specify how long the passwords are valid for users in a user group, use the following command:

set usergroup group-nameexpire-password-in time

By default, user passwords do not expire. You can use this command to specify how long a specified user’s password is valid. After this amount of time, the user’s password expires, and a new password will have to be set. The amount of time can be specified in days (for example, 30 or 30d), hours (720h), or a combination of days and hours (30d12h)

For example, the following command sets user Student1ís password to be valid for 30 days:

WX# set user Student1 expire-password-in 30

success: change accepted.

The following command sets user Student1ís password to be valid for 30 days and 15 hours:

WX# set user Student1 expire-password-in 30d15h

success: change accepted.

The following command sets user Student1’s password to be valid for

720 hours:

WX# set user Student1 expire-password-in 720h

success: change accepted.

The following command sets the passwords for the users in user group cardiology to be valid for 30 days:

WX# set usergroup cardiology expire-password-in 30

success: change accepted.
