Re: Issue changing user password

Hi Harry,

seems that you are using the setting "User must change password after reset" (passwordMustChange: on).

So, if a user password is reset by admin user, the password expiration time will be set to epoch 0: 19700101000000Z

and it will be set to the right expiration time once the user has modified the password itself.

If you set passwordMustChange to off, the password expiration time will be set to current time + 90 days in any case.

thanks and regards,

German.
