GOAL:
Does the Progress database automatically prompt the user for a new password when it expires?
GOAL:
Does the Progress database have the ability to check the age of a user password from time to time?
GOAL:
Does the Progress database have the functionality of starting off a module to update the user password in case it expires?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
No, currently the password of a Progress database user never expires. However, this can be accomplished programmatically within the Progress 4GL if user passwords are kept in a user defined password table with a date of when each password was last updated. Keep in mind that this would require the developer to re-code some of the existent Application to have it check this password table and the date the user last changed the password and if today is greater than the date recorded plus the amount of days a password should last, then the Application should start off a new module to update the password if the user enters the correct old password.
