Data Domain local user password aging

Dear Experts!

Our customer using DD2500 with 5.7 DDOS. Customer doesnt want to change

the DD user password every time when it is expires, he want a password for the local user which doesnt expires.

The gui parameters are:

- minimum days between change

- maximum days between change

- warn before expire

- disable days after expire

Question:

Is there any option to create a non aging password for the user?


The GUI allow only to set maximum days between change and it is 99999 and it is 273 years,

but is there any other options which we can create a local user with non expiring password?


Thanks in advance!

Ok. I see.

Is there is any way to create a user which password doesnt expire?

for example:

- minimum days: 0

- maximum days: 1

- warn days before expire: 0

For anyone wondering, steps 3-5 provided in the article that @RUDDY_scc shared are still relevant and work.

Why wouldn't 99999 days be good enough, instead of the default 90 days (or whatever is configured now)? That would be way long enough?

We still do that up until ddos 7.6 even running in the cloud, but I believe from a certain release you can go beyond 99999 and I even tend to set 999999, but still both options would outlive the systems actual life (and my own).

So 99999 days should do just fine.
