APM local DB "passwd_expire" usage

Hello, 

 

  1. I would like to know how to use the passwd_expire value from the values ​​displayed when entering the ldbutil --list command.
  2. Can I force users to change their passwords periodically by adjusting passwd_expire based on the last_modified value?

Any Help is appreciate.

  • As I see the available options are

        --uname="value"          Username
        --uid="value"            UID(a number)
        --instance="value"       Instance(e.g. /Common/vdb1)
        --password="value"       Password
        --user_groups="value"    Groups(comma separated)
        --lockout_start="value"  Lockout start (seconds since epoch)
        --locked_out="1 or 0"    1=User locked out, 0 otherwise
        --ttl="value"            Account creation time in seconds since epoch
        --duser="1 or 0"         1=Dynamically created user, 0 otherwise
        --login_failures="value" Number of login failures
        --change_passwd="1 or 0" 1=force passwd change, 0 otherwise
        --first_name="value"     First Name
        --last_name="value"      Last Name
        --email="value"          Email
        --limit="value"          Used with --list for pagination
        --file="value"           Filename for --backup, --restore and --csv
        --partition="value"      Used with --list for specific data

     

    so you could only set change_passwd to 1 periodically using a command like

    ldbutil --update --uname=XXXX --instance=/Common/XXXX --change_passwd=1

     

  • I can't find passwd_expire in options.

    Is there a way to use passwd_expire value?
