By default, the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server sets a password expiration of 90 days. The expiration period begins when an administrator ID or client node is first registered to the server. If a user’s password is not changed within this period, the user must change the password the next time they access the server.
Issue the SET PASSEXP command to set the password expiration period for selected administrator IDs or client nodes. You must specify the administrator ID or node name with the ADMIN or NODE parameter in the SET PASSEXP command. If you set the expiration period only for selected users, the expiration period can be 0 - 9999 days. A value of 0 means that user's password never expires.
The password expiration period for passwords that are authenticated with an LDAP directory server must be defined on the LDAP server.
Issue the following command to set the expiration period of client node node_tsm12 to 120 days:
After you explicitly set password expiration for an administrator ID, it is not modified if you later set a password expiration for all users. You can use the RESET PASSEXP command to reset the password expiration period to the common expiration period. Use the QUERY STATUS command to display the common password expiration period.
