Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to notify the password expiration in oracle?
>From the 8i docs:
Password Aging and Expiration
DBAs use the CREATE PROFILE statement to specify a maximum lifetime for passwords. When the specified amount of time passes and the password expires, the user or DBA must change the password. The following statement indicates that ASHWINI can use the same password for 90 days before it expires:
CREATE PROFILE prof LIMIT
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 4
PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME 30
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 90;
ALTER USER ashwini PROFILE prof;
DBAs can also specify a grace period using the CREATE PROFILE statement. Users enter the grace period upon the first attempt to login to a database account after their password has expired. During the grace period, a warning message appears each time users try to log in to their accounts, and continues to appear until the grace period expires. Users must change the password within the grace period. If the password is not changed within the grace period, the account expires and no further logins to that account are allowed until the password is changed. Figure 22-2 shows the chronology of the password lifetime and grace period.

Greetings,
As I understand that from Oracle 8 onward we have the feature of password management like account locking, password aging and expiration, password history and password complexity requirements.
My understanding is that if the password is expired for an user then that
user will be notified during his first attempt to login to the oracle
database. Instead of waiting for the user to login and then know about his
password expiration, we
are trying to find out a way by which the oracle can automatically send an
email to the respective user as it is close to the password expiration or as
the password has just expired.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ashoke
