Avoid password expiry on NSX managers and edges

Home > VMWare platform > VMWare NSX > Avoid password expiry on NSX managers and edges

To avoid automatic password expiry for root, audit and admin users on both NSX manager and Edges use:

1. SSH to manager using individual IP (not cluster IP) using admin credentials
2. Run following commands to prevent password-expiration for the three accounts:

   set user admin password-expiration 9999
   set user audit password-expiration 9999
   set user root password-expiration 9999

   Setting value to 9999 might be better then disabling password expiry all together as some checks might require password expiry to be enabled.

3. Validate settings have taken effect:

   get user admin password-expiration
   get user audit password-expiration
   get user root password-expiration

4. Do the same for the Edges
