Hi Folks,
We have 4 vCenters in different locations and out of one we are getting administrator SSO password expiring soon, since I have given in the command line password never expire parameter still I'm observing same issue. Can someone help here please.
Thanks.
How does this look like in the GUI?
André
Hi Andre;
Still says expiring in some days.
I have stopped and started all the services and all.
Thanks.
Sorry for the previous short reply.
What I was thinking of are the settings (e.g. Password Policy, ...)
André
Max lifetime set to 90 days, and it has the same settings across all our vCenters. Only one vCenter has this issue..
Maximum lifetime | Password must be changed every 90 days |
Hmm, to ensure I understand this correctly.
André
1. Yes, logged in with admin account.
2. Password expiring in 29 days.
3. ./dir-cli user modify --account xyz --password-never-expires
4. vCenter
5. No..
Thanks.
Aehh.... .why you dont specify 0 == no password expire within the GUI?

Joerg
... and the account is a local account, i.e. not an AD/domain account?
André
It is a local accout, administrator@vsphere.local one..
What does the
dir-cli user find-by-name --account administrator --level 2
return regarding password expiration?
Is it the same with "administrator@vsphere.local" as the account name?
André
It looks like this:
Account: administrator
UPN: Administrator@vsphere.local
Account disabled: FALSE
Account locked: FALSE
Password never expires: TRUE
Password expired: FALSE
Password expiry: N/A
In this case it looks like a possible bug to me. Not sure though what's different on the other vCenter Server systems!?
Anyway, is this the only local user account that you are using? In this case you may consider changing the password policy, so that passwords don't expire.
André
We have same settings, same vCenter version and build across the vCenters. I have another local sso account for myself but that was created recently. I'll change the password policy then. Thanks much!!
