10.2 Enabling the Password Expiration Notification Job

The Resource Kit uses the Password Expiration Notification job to automatically send an e-mail to the users when their passwords are going to expire. This is a default job that ships with Identity Manager. For more information about jobs, see the Identity Manager 3.6 Jobs Guide.

In order for this feature to function, the secure mail relay must be configured. Verify that the procedures in Section 9.0, Configuring a Secure Mail Relay for Identity Manager have been completed before proceeding.

The job is part of the Designer project. When the project is imported into Designer, the job is created. However, the job is set to manual.

IMPORTANT:You must use Designer to manage the Password Expiration Notification. If you are using iManager 2.7.3, you cannot view the parameters of the job. If you access the parameters page in iManager, you can no longer edit the job in iManager. Do not use iManager to manager the job.

To enable the job in Designer:

  1. In Designer, right-click the Password_Expiration_Notif object in the Outline view.

    The job resides under the driver set.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. In the General Settings tab, verify the job is enable. If it is not, select Enable Job.
