passwdCfg
2
-minpasswordage value
Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse before a password can
be changed. -minpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999. The default value is 0.
Setting this parameter to a nonzero value discourages a user from rapidly
changing a password in order to defeat the password history setting to reuse a
recently used password. The minpasswordage policy is not enforced when an
administrator changes the password for another user.
-maxpasswordage value
Specifies the maximum number of days that can elapse before a password must
be changed. This is the password expiration period. -maxpasswordage can be
set at 0 to 999. Setting this parameter to 0 disables password expiration. The
default value is 0. When -maxpasswordage is set to a nonzero value,
-minpasswordage must be set to a value less than or equal to
-maxpasswordage.
-warning value
Specifies the number of days prior to password expiration that a warning of
password expiration is displayed. The valid range for -warning is 0 to 999. The
default value to 0.
--enableadminlockout
Enables the admin lockout policy and sets the config parameter
"passwdcfg.adminlockout" to 1. If the parameter "passwdcfg.lockoutthreshold" is
set to greater than 0 and Admin Lockout policy is enabled, then, if the number of
failed login attempts from the last successful login equals the
"passwdcfg.lockoutthreshold", the account gets locked for the
"passwdcfg.lockoutduration" duration. The particular account is unlocked
manually using userconfig --change account_name -u or it is automatically
unlocked after "passwdcfg.lockoutduration" duration.
--disableadminlockout
Disables the admin lockout policy if already enabled and sets the config
parameter "passwdcfg.adminlockout" to 0. By default, admin lockout policy is
disabled.
--deleteuser username
Removes the password expiration polices for a particular user account.
--deleteuser -all
Removes the password expiration policies of all users.
