Expired Password Handling

Post by Paul »

I have been testing a user profile whose password will expire within seven days.

I have set PROFOUNDUI/PUIPWDMGT to "1" and with Atrium I get a notification to change password as expected. But this doesn't happen with .../profoundui/start, it goes directly to the initial program with no alert.

Rob's article explains that .../profoundui/auth/start uses basic authentication, is this the case for .../profoundui/start? If so, is there any check that I can do when a user's expiry date is approaching?

I'm on the latest release.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Rob here,

if you set your password to expired and then launch /profoundui/start it should let you change your password if PROFOUNDUI/PUIPWDMGT is set to "1". Can you confirm that this works?

I think you are saying that you are not getting a notification if the password is about to expire. Is this correct?

Hi Rob,

Yes, exactly.

When using .../profoundui/start if the pwd has already expired then I am prompted to create a new one but there are no prompts for a pwd about to expire. Atrium does produce the prompt for a pwd about to expire.

To be honest this is fine, as long as the user can change an expired password.
