Backup before Password Expiration Policy change.

  • 1.  Backup before Password Expiration Policy change.

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to follow the instruction below to change the password expiration policy. Just wondering if there's a way to do a backup of the current config (default) before implementing the change. 
    Password and API key expiration

    Will there be a .conf file or is there a command to run?

    Thank you!

    Hi Sebastian,

    The value is inserted directly into the database so there's no configuration file involved.

    You can check the current value by running, sudo resutil configget -key password.user_lifetime_in_days.

    If no value has been set previously, you will not get a figure returned. If you change the value and then want to delete that value, you can run, sudo resutil configset --delete -key password.user_lifetime_in_days.

    Once the value is deleted, the code will revert to it's default settings.
