Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions omniswitch manual Specific User Password Expiration

Creating a User Managing Switch User Accounts

To disable the default password expiration, use the user password-expirationcommand with the disable option:

-> user password-expiration disable

Default password expiration is disabled on the switch.

Specific User Password Expiration

To set password expiration for an individual user, use the user command with the expiration keyword and the desired number of days or an expiration date. For example:

-> user bert password techpubs expiration 5

This command gives user bert a password expiration of five days.

To set a specific date for password expiration, include the date in mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm format. For example:

-> user bert password techpubs expiration 02/19/2003 13:30

This command sets the password expiration to February 19, 2003, at 1:30pm; the switch will calculate the expiration based on the system date/time. The system date/time may be displayed through the system date and system time commands. For more information about the system date/time, see the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide.

Note. The expiration will be reset to the global default setting (based on the user password-expirationcommand) if the user password is changed or the user password-expirationcommand is entered again.
