Informing about the necessity to change the password

Ok, thank you ,

but how will it inform the user's system that it has to change the password ?

I have it set to 7 days but I don't see any message when logging in.

hi,

Users will receive an informational message at the login with remaining days

I support this notification need. We have the grace time set, but no one sees the message when logging in. 

Regards, Paul.

Yes, I tested this solution today again and I don’t see the informational message about the need to change my password. 

@Ruchira  Do you think we are dealing with an application bug and should be reported to the IFS team support?

Hi All, 

I resolved this issue by writing short procedure, which runs every day at the scheduled time:

PROCEDURE Expired_Pass_Notification 
  IS
  
CURSOR get_user_data_ IS
select USERNAME,
       EXPIRY_DATE
from   ORACLE_ACCOUNT
where  (EXPIRY_DATE - sysdate) <= 14 
and    ACCOUNT_STATUS = 'EXPIRED(GRACE)'
and    Fnd_User_Property_API.Get_Value(USERNAME, 'SMTP_MAIL_ADDRESS') is not null;

BEGIN
  
FOR Q_ IN get_user_data_ LOOP

COMMAND_SYS.Mail('IFS Noreply', 
                 Fnd_User_Property_API.Get_Value(Q_.USERNAME, 'SMTP_MAIL_ADDRESS')  , 
                 'Hi '||Fnd_User_API.Get_Description(Q_.USERNAME)||','||chr(10)||chr(13)||
                 'Your password for IFS account '||Q_.USERNAME||
                 ' expires in '||ROUND(Q_.EXPIRY_DATE - sysdate)||
                 ' day(s). Please change the password as soon as possible to prevent further logon problems.'||chr(10)||chr(13)||
                 'If you need to change the password to login to IFS application, please start IFS, choose ''''Change password'''' and follow the instructions.'||chr(10)||chr(13)||
                 'Thank you!' ,  '',  '',  '',  
                 'Important: IFS Password Expiration Notification',  '',  '',  '',  '');

END LOOP;

END;

It reminds users about expiration in 14 days in advance but you can change this by your wish.

Hope you find it useful, 

Cheers

Hi @USER_IFS 

This has been already patched:160526

@Ruchira How to restrict user from changing the password more than twice in a day?

Hi There is no inbuilt function to achieve this but should be able to go around it by modifying the verify_function. I do not have any examples though

With the patch: 160526
You will get the information in the stream of the user.
 

When the user not login to the ifs every day, he don’t get this information. Maybe the solution with the email is better.

Best Regards,
André

Hi @Alexander , Can you please provide the instructions on how to load the SQL procedure above. If we create the procedure in the DB side, how can we call it from the application side to run it as a scheduled task. Thanks!

Hi @usama_wrk , once the procedure is deployed to the API you have to:

1. refresh dictionary cache
2. create database task for the procedure you’ve deployed
3. create a schedule for the task

Alex.
