We are implementing in a Financial Company, ahd they have policies about change passwors every 45 days.

 

1. we undertood that we need a local user in UNIX or Linux enviroments, then we need change de local password in every Linux/Unix Server every 45 days ?

2. there is other way to passwords administration ( we know storege external solutions ), but the customer don't want to do investment in others tools.

 

3. it's the same with passwor's user for Database, network devices, etc ??

Hi @JDGG 

sorry, but I don't know what you want to hear. On the one hand you cannot use external credential stores and on the other hand you want to have all work for changing the credentials in ServiceNow due to the 45 day policy.

OOTB there is no other option and any alternatives (at the moment I don't have any idea) have to be implemented with the respective efforts.

There is no OOB available for password change if Policy requires to change password in 45 Days then you need to use the same.

 

Also you can ask customer to to never expire account to use for that, Also if user is same and policy is same then you need to change the password for DB, Network Devices etc otherwise that discovery will impacted.
