How Do I Set the Password Validity Period?¶
If you cannot log in to a BMS due to password expiry, contact the operation administrator.
If you can log in to the BMS, perform the following operations to set the password validity period:
Log in to the BMS OS and run the following command to query the password validity period:
vi /etc/login.defs
The value of parameter PASS_MAX_DAYS indicates the password validity period.
Run the following command to change the value of parameter PASS_MAX_DAYS in 1:
chage -M 99999 user_name
99999 is the validity period of the password, and user_name is a system user.
You are advised to set the password validity period as needed and change it on a regular basis.
Run vi /etc/login.defs to verify that the configuration has taken effect.
