Hi,
I know that this will sound like one of those "refer the sticky thread" kind of questions, but it is a little different. I have gone through numerous threads but haven't found the answer or maybe I am just plain retarded π
We need to implement password timeouts where the users will be forced to change their password after a certain period of time. I has followed the long thread where this was extensively discussed and a few others. However, here is my problem.
There are a few dialog users (540 to be precise) whose passwords are generic and known to all. These users have very minimum display access. The should be an exception to the rule since it is bound to cause a huge chaos. Exclusion to dialog users is not possible because of the profile parameter.
Would this work for what I need ?
From the sticky thread

You'll need a programmer to get it done for multiple users, but here's wat to do if you're not afraid of editing table contents. (tested on WAS 610 but completely at your own risk )
For each user you want to force a password change for:
in USR02 set field LTIME to 00:00:00
This be done only for the users for which the password needs to be reset
2. Bounce the instance to activate the parameter login/password_compliance_to_current_policy.
We are on ECC 6.0.
Please let me know your comments if you think this would work or of there is any other efficient way of doing this. Also could there be any problems that you foresee. Any inputs will help me greatly.
Thanks,
Kunal
