Is it possible to set up accounts with non-expiring passwords for system to system integration (e.g. another system calling an Appian process exposed as a web service)?

If not can an Appian user change their own password programmatically (so the external system could call an Appian process exposed as a web service/Web API to change it's own password prior to expiry)?

If neither of these are possible has anyone come across this problem and how did they solve it?

One way we've approached this use case is to build out a process that compares the expiration period with the last time a user's password was changed. If within a certain range, you could alert an admin team, integrate with a password update process, etc. To determine last password change, we've added a function (getUsersLastPasswordChange) to the People Functions shared component: forum.appian.com/.../summary
