Dear all,

We have a question related to this parameter in custom.properties
conf.security.pw.MAX_TEMPORARY_PASSWORD_AGE
This parameter sets the maximum duration of a temporary password in minutes.

We are wondering what the effect is of increasing the parameter AFTER a user with a temporary password is created. Will the expiration period be increased only for the newly created users or also for the users already created? The documentation does not mention this.

Regards,

Nikos

Yes but suppose that:
1. conf.security.pw.MAX_TEMPORARY_PASSWORD_AGE=<equivalent of 10 days>
2. user X is created
3. user X does not login to change the password.
4. day 9 arrives since time of step 2 and user X still has not logged in.
5. administrator changes the value of conf.security.pw.MAX_TEMPORARY_PASSWORD_AGE=<equivalent of 20 days>
6. at day 11 the user X tries to login. Will he be able to login with the temporary password he got at step 2 and change it to one of his preference or will he need help from the admin of the system
