Preventing the system-defined administrator account password from expiring
Answer ID 10822   |   Last Review Date 04/23/2019

Is it possible to prevent the system-defined administrator account password from expiring?

Environment:

All Releases
Staff Accounts, Password Configuration
Oracle B2C Service

Resolution:

The standard product functionality allows individual staff accounts to never have their password expired.  However, this cannot be done for the system-defined administrator account password. 

If you have the Password Configuration > Password Expiration > Expiration Interval set > = 0, then the system-defined administrator account password will expire according to those settings.  The only way to prevent the system-defined administrator account password from ever expiring is to set the Expiration Interval = 0, but that will turn it off for all staff accounts.

There is no way to control this account on an individual basis like you can with individual staff accounts.
