Check Point password policy

[Sparki]

I need all SmartConsole administrators to change their passwords because the password policy has changed. If I just change the policy in the SmartConsole -> Manage & Settings -> Permissions & Administrators -> Advanced -> Check Point Password Settings, nothing changes for existing administrators - they can use their current passwords. How can I force all administrators to change their passwords?

I use SmartConsole R80.40

Did you perform an Install Database on Management ? This is needed for the change, see the Management Admin Guide.

[Sparki]

Yes, the policy is published and installed on Management

And did you set a new expiration date ? That should trigger the password renewal.

[Sparki]

No. Where can I change it?

[G_W_Albrecht]

Either here:

Or for all Admin Accounts at once:

As far as I know, this is the expiration date of the administrator account. After it expires, the account will be unavailable. This does not affect the password

Use an Identity  Provider - this makes that task very easy !
