Error description

• The replicate node command may not replicate the password
  expiration of node owner administrator when its value is zero,
  as below:
  
  - If the password expiration value is set to zero when the node
  and administrator are registered on the source server, the
  replicate node command leaves the admin password expiration
  value to blank on the target server.
  
  - If the value for password expiration for the administrator is
  set to 0 on the source server, after replication has already run
  once, then if the replication is ran again, the zero value does
  not get replicated on the target server.
  
  If, however, the value is set to a non zero value, and then
  replication is run again, the value does get replicated.
  
  
  L2/Customer Diagnostics:
  Check the administrator's password expiration value on the
  target server after running the replicate node command when the
  value is set to zero on the replication source server.
  
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions affected:
  All supported versions of Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM
  Spectrum Protect server on all platforms.
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Low
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TS001833598, TSM
  

Local fix

• Issue the command 'update admin <admin name> passexp=0' on the
  target server if the password expiration value is zero.
