Re: password reset required after migration to power 10 (v7r3 to v7r5)

Hello Jerry,

please use this opportunity to try some Google searches along the lines of "why frequent password changes are a bad idea".

Here you have a government blog post (!) for convincing management:

It seems forcing timed password changes are still done because it has been like this all the time before. Rear Admiral Grace Hopper might rotate in her grave when she hears… ;-)

Great response from IBM (below).

Meanwhile.....

For now we will set profiles to *NOMAX for tomorrow.

After that we will reset 5 profiles every few days to 90 days to force them to change their passwords so after awhile, without overwhelming our support desk, we will get to the place where we are on the 90 day rotation.

After we get to where we want to be we can change the system value to 90 and align all the profiles to 90.
