Setting password expiration dates
You can specify the expiration date of a password used for logging in to the
Web console and the CLI console of a management module.
You can manage the expiration date of a password to a management module
by specifying a period (number of days) during which a password is
considered valid.
When you create a new account or change a password, the expiration date
for the account is reset.
The expiration date is set as (the date on which the operation is performed)
+ (a valid period), and a password is valid until the day that the remaining
number of days becomes 0.
