I am brand new to dot net nuke, and have been asked to make some updates to a website that uses it.  I am trying to figure out how to turn on password aging.  I logged in as an Admin, and went to roles/user settings, and I can see the Membership Provider and Password Aging settings displayed, but they are all read only.  Under Membership Provider, it says you have to edit these settings in the web.config.

I opened the web.config file, and I see where you can set the Password Retrieval and Password Reset propertieds (and all the other Membership Provider properties in the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider node), but I see no examples of how to set Password Expiry and Password Expiry Reminder properties.  Does anyone have an example of this from the web.config file that they can post?

Hi Jam,

I may be mistaken, but I am fairly certain that the password aging and expiration management is handled within DNN and not part of the native ASP.NET membership provider.  As such, you should be able to configure these settings under the User Settings settings in the admin section.  The membership configuration settings are read-only, but the aging/expiration settings are not.

I am not using the default ASP.Net membership provider, and the DNN online demo site is currently offline, so I can't currently confirm this, but I am pretty sure that this is the case.  Take another look and see if you can't edit these values.
