How to force a Password change in RecTrac 3.1 and exempt certain User IDs from it
Problem
We need to force a Password Change every 90 days for the majority of our RecTrac users, but we also want to exempt a few accounts, such as Card Swipe, Card Printer, etc...
What is the best way to do this?
Solution
Set Password expiration rules in your Static Parameters profile and exempt user IDs individually in User Management.
You can set your password parameters in the Static Parameters Profile RecTrac Password Settings (Management Ribbon > System Management > User/Menu/Profile Management group > Profile Assignments > Static Parameters). To require a new password every 90 days, enter 90 in the Require Password Change Every Days field. Use the 'i' and '?' icons for field descriptions, if needed.
You can exempt accounts from the Password Change requirement on a 'by account' basis in User Management ((Management Ribbon > System Management > User/Menu/Profile Management group > User Management). Highlight/select the account in question and click Change. Expand the Miscellaneous Settings group and enable the option for Password Never Expires and click Save. Changes take effect at the user's next login.
Repeat as needed for other user accounts.
