Usage Scenario

To prevent account stealing due to unchanged passwords, run the

user-password expire command to set the password validity period and the period for advance warning before the password expires.

Expiration time is calculated from when the account was created.

Prerequisites

A local user has logged in to the device as an administrator.

Configuration Impact

The user-password expire command applies only to administrators. The system prompts the administrator to change the password N days before the password expires.
If the administrator does not change the password till the password expires, the administrator is denied access to the device.

Precautions

The parameter expire-days must be greater than or equal to the parameter prompt-days.
The user-password expire command that is configured in the AAA view or local AAA server view takes effect only for users in the specific view and does not affect another in the other view.

# Set the password validity period to 90 days and the period for advance warning before the password expires to 7 days in the AAA view.
