Password Expiration

Password expiration is enforced the first time a user logs in to the user interface. The admin user grants the new user with a temporary password during the initial user account setup. After logging in for the first time using the temporary password, the user interface forces the user to change the password. The user is re-directed to a password changing page that requires the user to enter the old password and then enter a new password twice.

The admin user can also configure the password expiration parameters on a system-wide basis. By default, password expiration occurs after 90 days. For more information about how to configure password expiration, see the Configuring the Expiration of Password section in the Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Guide.
