If the password for your WebSales user group expires, customers will not be able to access your website. By setting an expiry date far into the future (e.g. 50 years), you will ensure that your customers will be able to access your website without you having to frequently update the password expiry date.

To change the password expiry date for WebSales users, first check to see when the password expires:

1. Open the Application Security application from the AudienceView Desktop.
2. Select the Users tab.
   The Users|Search page appears.
3. Search for and select the WebSales user. For more information, refer to Application Security Users-Search Page and Performing Searches.
   The Users|Basic page appears.
4. In the user details section, check the 'Password Expires on' field to see when the password expires.
5. Modify the expiry date. If you do not want the password to expire, set the date to sometime far into the future.

   Hint If the 'Password Expires on' field is read-only, refer to Making the User 'Password Expires on' Field Writeable.

   Information If the number of 'Failed login attempts' is greater than the 'Number of allowed failed login attempts', then click 'Unlock User'.

6. Click 'Apply'.

Making the User 'Password Expires on' Field Writeable

   The Users|Basic page appears.
4. Select the Attributes tab.
   The Users|Attributes page appears.
5. Select TSuserBO from the list on the left-hand side.
6. Click 'Add Rule'.
   A new rule appears.
7. Click the next to the 'Attribute' field.
   The Attribute dialog box appears.
8. In the blank field below, search for and select User: Password Expires on.
9. Click 'OK'.
   The Attribute is added to the new rule.
10. Select yes from 'Writeable' dropdown.
11. Click 'Apply'.
    A window confirms that the application updated the user.
12. Click 'OK'.

You will need to logoff and back in before the changes take effect.
The 'Password Expires on' field is now writeable, and can be adjusted.
