As you know, the service console for ESX 3.0 is a modified version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 6.0. By default, a password aging & complexity policy is active. Password aging policies are set:
- Maximum days = 90 days by default
- Minimum days = 0 days (you can change your password whenever you want)
- Warning time defaults to 7
Normally, the root and vpxuser have no password aging by default (value is –1).
You can disable the password aging policy as follows:
- For all newly created users (disable globally):
esxcfg-auth --passmaxdays=0 (or –1) - For existing users:
chage -M -1 (or 0) <username>
