When will my password expire

On shark there is a schript called AD-pwd-experation.sh if you run this script it will tell you in how many days your password will expire.

username@shark:~$ AD-pwd-expiration.sh 
Your Password will expire in 28 Days

When you login with ssh on Shark and your password expires within 5 days you will get a warning that your password will expire.

How to Change my password

To change your password if it's not expired you can type the command passwd

username@shark:~$ passwd 
Current Kerberos password: 
Enter new Kerberos password: 
Retype new Kerberos password: 
passwd: password updated successfully

If your password is expired and you can not log into Shark any more, you can use a website to change your password.

https://passwd.researchlumc.nl/

If you use this URL please use as domain : RESEARCHLUMC
Thus your Domain\username would be : RESEARCHLUMC\USERNAME

Choosing your new password must meet these conditions:

  • Password must not contain the user's account name or more than two consecutive characters from the user's full name.
  • Password must be eight or more characters long.
  • Password must contain characters from three of the following four categories:
    • Uppercase characters A-Z (Latin alphabet)
    • Lowercase characters a-z (Latin alphabet)
    • Digits 0-9
    • Special characters (!, $, #, %, etc.)
  • Password is not used before (counting a history of 24)
  • Your current password age is at least one day. If it's not, you'll get an error that the password does not meet the complexity requirements.
