You can use the command line interface (CLI) for Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) to set the expiration dates for user accounts. The basic syntax for this operation is as follows:

EA USER target UPDATE EXPIRES:yyyy-mm-dd

For example, to set the "asmith" user account to expire on April 1, 2007, enter the following CLI command:

EA USER asmith UPDATE EXPIRES:2007-04-01

To set the expiration date to "Never" for a user account, use a blank field after the EXPIRES: property. For example, to set the expiration for the same "asmith" user back to "Never," enter the following CLI command:

EA USER asmith UPDATE EXPIRES:

note

You can use the CLI to update several accounts at once with a batch process. For more information about this process, see NetIQ Knowledge Base article NETIQKB22483 "How do I create bulk accounts and set their passwords during the create operation?" at https://www.netiq.com/kb/esupport/consumer/esupport.asp?id=NETIQKB22483.
