Overriding password duration for security groups

You specify password duration at the system level using the Security Controls action. However, you can make password duration specific to a security group by overriding the system setting.

About this task

If your implementation uses an application server to authenticate with an external directory (by means of LDAP), you cannot use this function because the directory manages passwords.

Procedure

  1. In the Security Groups application, select the group for which you want to override the password duration.
  2. Select the Override Password Duration action.
  3. Specify the number of days that the password is to be valid for this group.
  4. Specify the number of days before users in the group are alerted that the password is set to expire.
  5. Click OK.
