Overview

This defines the global password expiration policy. 0 means automatic password expiration is disabled. If the value is a positive integer N, the passwords must be changed every N days. This behavior can be overridden using the password expiration options in ALTER USER.

USAGE

The default_password_lifetime system variable can have its default value configured via SkySQL Configuration Manager.

DETAILS

The default_password_lifetime system variable defines the number of days that are required between password changes by default.

  • If the default_password_lifetime system variable is set to 0, then passwords do not expire by default.

  • The default_password_lifetime system variable will be used for a given user account if the user account was created or altered with no PASSWORD EXPIRE ... clause.

  • The default_password_lifetime system variable will also be used for a given user account if the user account was created or altered with the PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT clause.

  • The default_password_lifetime system variable will be ignored for a given user account if the user account was created or altered with any PASSWORD EXPIRE ... clause other than the PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT clause.
