Checking Password Expirations for User IDs You Manage

In addition to using the QUERY PASSWORD command to display information about user IDs you manage whose passwords have not been changed for the specified number of days, you can use the GETPWEXP command to display specific password expiration information for your users.

For example, to see when user CLIFFC’s password will expire, enter the following command:

vmdirect getpwexp cliffc

The response returned can indicate the following information:

• The number of days in which the password will expire:

  VMXGET0534I USERID CLIFFC PASSWORD WILL EXPIRE IN 19 DAYS ON 
  DD MMM YYYY
  

• Whether the password is not set to expire:

  VMXGET0293I USERID CLIFFC PASSWORD IS NOT SET TO EXPIRE
  

• Or the number of days since the password expired:

  VMXGET0536I USERID CLIFFC PASSWORD EXPIRED 10 DAYS AGO ON 
  DD MMM YYYY
