Volume Password Expiry

KB076 - Set the Volume user password to expire after a set number of days


The Volume user password can be configured to expire after a set number of days. This is an optional setting which is switched off by default. Once enabled, this feature is applicable to all non-superuser Volume accounts. Superusers accounts are not affected by this option and will therefore not expire.

The password expiry feature is available from version 5.6.1.0 of Volume.
