Question

Password Expiry

Is there a way to query the Appian user database and discover those users whose passwords are expired (rather than account deactivated. 

I've looked at the user() function and none of the arguments help..

You're asking a very specific question...but to what end? What problem are you actually trying to solve? We may have a better insight as to what you might need...

Pretty simple really.. i need to produce a list of users whose password has expired, and by definition are no longer using the system.

...and the purpose behind this is...to deactivate the accounts and recycle the licenses? (just trying to get to the outcome you're attempting to achieve)

Hi Paul,

If you are willing to write a java service for it, there are a few java classes exposed by Appian that give you the password status.

Please check the following screenprints.

You can simply call the getPasswordStatus() method to get PasswordStatus (Enum).

Hope it helps.
