Is it possible to set up a password rotation policy

So I was wondering.  Is it possible in LM to set up a policy that forces our users to reset their passwords every 90 days.  I don’t see any options to do so in LM and I wasn’t sure if anyone out there has done so through some clever scripting.  I set up something similar in ServiceNow where a scheduled script ran every day and forced a user reset if the password was over so many days old.  Thanks for your help

  • It should certainly be possible to do so, using the REST API through the SDK

    • You would programmatically make an authenticated GET Request against the /setting/admins/ endpoint (All encapsulated within the SDK) to get the list of the admins using the SDK’s get_admin_list method
    • Iterate through the list, using whatever logic you wish to determine which accounts would be set to force a password change (I don’t think we expose the age of the password; I suppose you could just do them all every 90 days)
    • Then Programmatically create a PATCH request through the sdk against the /settings/admins/{id} endpoint using the SDK’s patch_admin_by_id method to update the force_password_change field for the appropriate accounts.

    If you’d rather not use the SDK, the REST API swagger docs are here, but the process will be the same.

    That’s what I’d do, but I haven’t done it yet. SSO ftw, say goodbye to managing user accounts.
