Figure: Password Expiration Policy Settings
In the Maximum Password Age entry field, a value can be entered
to determine the maximum time a password is valid. Default
value is 90 days and allowed value range is 1-999
Users having the administration role do not get expired.
The Send notification e-mail x days prior to password expiration
entry field value determines the number of days, a user should be informed before
the password expires. In case the value is set to 0 no notifications is sent.
The default value is 3 days.
The allowed value range is 0-999
You can provide the URL for the portal login page via the property
Security.Password.LoginDialogUrl in your carnot.properties
file. In case this property is set, the provided URL will be added
to your notification mail.
The period to send these notification mails is set to once per day per default. In
case you like to change this period, set the property
system.daemon.PasswordNotifier.Periodicity in your
server-side carnot.properties file to the number of days you
like to start the notification after the last pass.
After the user password has expired, the account is put into a limited mode for a period of days where the user is still able to access the system only for changing the expired password. After this period is expired, the account will be deactivated and administrative action is required to re-activate it again. You have the option to set the number of these days to disable accounts after the password has expired.
In the Disable account x days after password expiration
entry field, you can enter the number of days the account will be disabled
after the official password expiration. Set value -1 to disable this feature.
This is the default value. The allowed value range is 0-999
Click Save to apply all changes.

password encryption is enabled, you can set the
property Security.Password.Encryption in your
server-side carnot.properties file to true.
Note
This property should only be set
once, otherwise the passwords are not readable anymore.
If this property is set to true, the Password Encryption
checkbox is enabled. Note that you cannot edit the field.
