Changing Password Information
You can change the following password information used by a principal:
• Password expiration date
Indicates when the password of the current principal is due to expire.
Check the Password Expiration Date box to activate password
expiration for the current principal. If you do not enable this option,
the current password of the principal will never expire.
• Key version number
Indicates the number of times a password has been changed by the
principal.
• Key types
Indicates the key encryption options, namely, 3DES, DES-MD5 and
DES-CRC.
• Salt types
Indicates the value used by the secret algorithm to create a unique
encrypted key even for identical passwords within a single system.
Salts also allow unique keys on two separate systems to use the same
password.
