Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1317060
Description of problem: When an admin creates a new user in IPA, the password for that user is immediately expired. Similarly, when an admin resets a user password, that password is immediately expired. This forces the user to change their own password. The rationale for this behavior is well documented at http://www.freeipa.org/page/New_Passwords_Expired. However - an admin may also create a user representing an application or service, such that the password the admin sets is expected to work for the application. Currently, the admin is required to change the password, as the user, after setting it initially. This represents an unnecessary set of steps. This request is to provide a mechanism for "ipa user-add", "ipa passwd", and the Web UI to allow a newly created user to be given a password that does not immediately expire, for use by applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Feature does not currently exist. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new user or change password of exisitng user as admin. 2. Authentication as new user 3. Note that user is forced to change password. Actual results: Admin has no option to avoid having to change password. Expected results: Admin should have an option to allow new users without forced password change. Additional info: Discussion on internal mailing lists 2015-03-10.
