Configuring password expiration time
To specify how long a user password is valid before it must be reset, use the following command:
set user username expire-password-in time
To specify how long the passwords are valid for users in a user group, use the following command:
set usergroup group-name expire-password-in time
By default, user passwords do not expire. This command specifies the time duration, that a user password is valid. After
this, the user password expires, and a new password is required. The amount of time can be specified in days (for
example, 30 or 30d), hours (720h), or a combination of days and hours (30d12h)
For example, the following command sets user Student1’s password to be valid for 30 days:
WSS# set user Student1 expire-password-in 30
success: change accepted.
The following command sets user Student1 password to be valid for 30 days and 15 hours:
WSS# set user Student1 expire-password-in 30d15h
success: change accepted.
The following command sets user Student1 password to be valid for 720 hours:
WSS# set user Student1 expire-password-in 720h
success: change accepted.
The following command sets the passwords for the users in user group cardiology to be valid for 30 days:
WSS# set usergroup cardiology expire-password-in 30
success: change accepted.
