If you do NOT set a password expiry date, your clients' passwords
(whether Oracle or not) expire according to the "TSM-wide" password
expiration setting.   (enter Q STATUS and look for PASSWORD EXPIRATION
PERIOD to see the current setting).

If you have some clients that you do NOT want passwords to expire
according to the "TSM-wide" setting, you must EXPLICITLY set the
PASSWORD EXPIRATION PERIOD for the NODE to 0 (the default is blank).
That stops the password expiring for that node only.

Same thing for admin ids - blank means use the "TSM-wide" PASSWORD
EXPIRATION PERIOD, zero means don't expire the password.

Unless something has changed recently, there isn't any way to automated
the password changes for the Oracle TDP.  Set yourself a reminder to
change them manually every so often.

I have several Oracle TDP clients and the passwords have started
expiring. I am not sure why as I did not set an expiry date on the
clients when I defined them. Has anyone else run into this? Did you
automate the password changes? All the clients are UNIX systems.
 
Thanks,

Sam
