Resolution

goal
How do I change a user password and then expire it, forcing the user to change the password upon next logon?

fact
VigilEnt Security Manager 3.0.X

fix
There is not "one" action currently that will force a user account to expire upon changing the password.

Two actions must be run to complete this task within VigilEnt Security Manager:

  1. First right-click the server you wish to perform the password expiration against.

  2. Select Run Tasks.

  3. Select the Common tab.

  4. Click the Actions radio button to specify an action you wish to take against this specific server.

  5. Expand the Users/Groups action tree.

  6. Double-click Change User Password and Expire User Password.

  7. Click Next and input the appropriate information for both actions.

  8. Click Finish.


This will force the user to change his or her password on the next logon.
