Changing Password Information
You can change the password information used by a principal that
includes:
• Password expiration date - indicates when the current principal’s
password expires. Check the Password Expiration Date box to
activate password expiration for the current principal. If this
function is not enabled, then the current principal’s password will
never expire.
• Key version number - indicates the number of times that a password
has been changed by the principal.
• Key Types - The available key options are triple DES (3DES) and / or
DES encryption.
• Salt Types - A value thatis used by the secret-keyalgorithm to create
a unique encrypted key even for identical passwords within a single
system. Salts also allow unique keys on two separate systems to use
the same password.
