How Do I Set the Password Validity Period?
If you cannot log in to a BMS due to password expiry, contact the 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.
