A52: PASSWORD_MAY_CHANGE
The keyword PASSWORD_MAY_CHANGE represents the number of days before the
password expiration date in which the user may change his or her own password. If
this keyword is omitted, XUA will check the value of the expiration date from
Safeguard. If the password expiration date is not effective in Safeguard either, then the
user may change his or her own password at any time.
Syntax:
PASSWORD_MAY_CHANGE <number>
In the below example XUA lets the users change their password 180 days before the
expiration date.
Example:
PASSWORD_MAY_CHANGE 180
The keyword PASSWORD_MAY_CHANGE defaults to the value of 0 (zero) which
means use the Safeguard setting.
If this keyword is present in a UAGroup of the UAACL file, that keyword’s value
overrides the one in the UACONF file.
A53: PASSWORD_REQUIRED
The PASSWORD_REQUIRED keyword controls the need for a password when users
logon to an ID in the TO_USER list.
Syntax:
PASSWORD_REQUIRED { ON | OFF }
When PASSWORD_REQUIRED is set to ON, users must enter a password when
trying to logon to the target userid.
When PASSWORD_REQUIRED is set to OFF, the users can logon to users in the
TO_USER list without supplying the target user’s password.
Example:
PASSWORD_REQUIRED OFF
If this keyword is omitted, PASSWORD_REQUIRED will be set to ON.
If this keyword is present in a UAGroup of the UAACL file, that keyword’s value
overrides the one in the UACONF file.
