Setting Password Expiry Restrictions
For security purposes, API Gateway allows administrators to set password expiration requirements on passwords for administrator and non-administrator users. An administrator user receives a reminder email to reset the password before certain number of days, as specified in the Password expiration settings page.
*To set password expiry restrictions
1. Expand the menu options icon , in the title bar, and select User management.
2. Click Account settings > Password expiry settings.
3. Provide the following information to set the required password expiry restrictions.
Field
Description
Enabled
Specifies whether to enable the password expiry settings.
This option is disabled by default. Select Enabled to enable the password expiry settings.
Expiration interval (days)
Specifies the number of days after which a password expires, if not changed.
The value should be a non-zero integer.
The default value is 90.
Note:
Upon save, when this option is enabled, any password that is set before the expiration interval are considered expired and have to be reset. For example, if you changed your password 10 days ago and now, the Administrator changes the Expiration interval to 5 days, then your password has expired and needs to be reset.
Days prior to password expiry for email reminders
Specifies the number of days prior to password expiry that API Gateway starts sending the reminder emails for password reset. The emails are sent daily until the user either updates the password or changes the expiration interval.
The default value is 3.
Set the value to 0 to prevent API Gateway from sending the reminder emails for soon to expire passwords.

API Gateway uses the SMTP server and port details specified in Integration Server in the Email Notification section on Resource Settings screen ( Settings > Resources).
