Operating Systems AIX How to check password expiry in AIX? Post 302252801 by shockneck on Thursday 30th of October 2008 10:35:47 AM

You need to be root to do this but there is no single command available. From the /etc/security/passwd you get the information when the password for a particular user was set ("lastupdate"). You'd then check the user's attributes to find the intervall for a forced password change. With those two values and the current date you can calculate when the current password will be expired. Thus a script would probably be written around the following commands:

Code:
[server:root] /etc/security > grep -p shockneck passwd
shockneck:
        password = GaKaqDbvE3Q.s
        lastupdate = 1223451491
        flags =

[server:root] /etc/security > perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1223451491'
Wed Oct  8 09:38:11 2008
[server:root] /etc/security >  lsuser -a maxage shockneck
shockneck maxage=13
[server:root] /etc/security >  date
Thu Oct 30 15:26:32 MEZ 2008
[server:root] /etc/security >

Search the script forum to find how to convert a date into seconds from epoch for easy comparison. You might even find several complete scripts there for accomplishing your aim.

IFX_PCONNECT(3) 							 1							   IFX_PCONNECT(3)

ifx_pconnect - Open persistent Informix connection

SYNOPSIS
resource ifx_pconnect ([string $database], [string $userid], [string $password]) DESCRIPTION
ifx_pconnect(3) acts very much like ifx_connect(3) with two major differences. First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (ifx_close(3) will not close links established by ifx_pconnect(3)). This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'. PARAMETERS
All of the arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in php.ini (ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the password (none if not defined). o $database - The database name, as a string. o $userid - The username, as a string. o $password - The password, as a string. RETURN VALUES
Returns: valid Informix persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on errors. SEE ALSO
ifx_connect(3). PHP Documentation Group IFX_PCONNECT(3)
