Step 3: Check the minimum and maximum intervals set for user password validity

Example

user password aging option show

Sample output

Minimum Days Between Password Change:   0   
Maximum Days Between Password Change:   90  
Warning Days Between Password Change:   7   
Disable Days After Expire:              never

Step 4: Modify the max-days-between-change. This change will change the status for a "locked" user to "enabled"

Example

user password aging set ddboost max-days-between-change 99999

Sample Output

User "ddboost" password aging information has been updated

Please note:

Any subsequent DDOS upgrade will change the password age back to 90 days

Step 5: Confirm the change by displaying the password settings

Example

user password aging show

Sample output

User       Password       Minimum Days     Maximum Days     Warn Days       Disable Days   Status
           Last Changed   Between Change   Between Change   Before Expire   After Expire
