Password Expiration

Prev Next

If you try to log on after your password has expired, the following message is displayed:

Login failed: Account has been locked due to password expiration, contact your Administrator.

Ensure the Expire Passwords: check box is selected. Use the fields in this section to ensure that the passwords are changed at regular intervals:

Field

Description

Time to Wait Before New Passwords Can Be Changed

Set the time to wait before new passwords can be changed between 0 and 72 hours.

Passwords Expire After

Set the passwords expiry period between 1 and 180 days.

Warning Interval

Set the warning interval as per your requirement.

Note

The warning interval you set should be at least 1 day less than the password expiry period. For example, if the password is expiring after 5 days, the warning interval should be set between 1 and 4 days. That way, if you are setting the password to expire in 1 day, you should set the warning interval to 0 days.

Get Email Notification for Expiring Password

Select this check box to enable email notifications for expiring passwords. The Manager sends these email notifications to the users when their passwords are about to expire. These emails are sent every day until the last day of expiry. For example, if you set the warning interval as 4 days, the user receives 1 email everyday for 4 days before the password expires.

Note

The emails are sent to the user's email ID which was specified during user creation.

Note

This feature works only when the E-mail Server is configured.

Note

  • In case of a Central Manager setup that manages multiple Managers, the Central Manager sends the email notifications to the users added in it.

  • In case of a Manager Disaster Recovery (MDR) setup that involves a primary and a secondary Manager, users will receive email notifications from only one of the Managers in the MDR pair.
