This is what I use to send an email 3 days before and 1 day before (obviously this is on a Unix box):

passwd_exp.sh:
cd /oracle/oper
sqlplus <<!JCM
xxx/$XXX_ID
set pagesize 0
set echo off
set feed off
set term off
spool pw_exp_mail.sh
@passwd_exp.sql
exit;
!JCM
sed 1d pw_exp_mail.sh > pw_send_mail.sh
chmod ug+x pw_send_mail.sh
pw_send_mail.sh

passwd_exp.sql:
select 'mail '||email||' <pw_exp_message_3.txt' from employee e, dba_users du
where e.id=du.username
and trunc(expiry_date)-trunc(sysdate)=3
and du.profile in ('XXXX_PROFILE',etc.); select 'mail '||email||' <pw_exp_message_1.txt' from employee e, dba_users du
where e.id=du.username
and trunc(expiry_date)-trunc(sysdate)=1
and du.profile in ('XXXX_PROFILE',etc.') and du.account_status<>'LOCKED';
spool off;

pw_exp_message_1.txt:
Your Oracle password will expire in 1 day.

Hi All,

Does anybody have a standard code or process for sending email from oracle to address the following issue.

Thanks,
Ashoke

Not sure it would be the best but... logically I would:

get sysdate
get expiration date
if expiration date - sysdate <= 7 (let's say you wanted to warn them 7 days in advance) send them e-mail. I have not done e-mail from Oracle but there are plenty examples everywhere.

Or, I think you could create a screen in your app. and display that screen for them any time they get close to expiration date. You can even let them change their password through that screen, too.

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
