Hi guys,
How do you change the amount of days in which the vSphere web client or HTML client prompts you that a password will expire in X number of days?
Many thanks

Is there a way to disable or modify when this alert banner pops up? The reason I ask is we are using our AD credentials to login. when those credentials are 30 days from expiring we start getting this banner which is quite annoying. It would be nice to change this to 7 days or something like that.
I still want to know HOW to disable the message. It's a domain policy, fine. But WHY is VMWare reporting it every time I login to vCenter, it's quite annoying. Probably can't turn it off per-se this is VMware attempt at full transparency because they ASSUME that since they are tied to Active Directory we want to SEE ALL AD messages pertaining to login, but that is false and it should still be preference.
I login in Windows RDP all day long and none of them complain my password will expire in 30 days, 29 days, 28 days.. they are members of domain, I get a warning at 10 days (which is what I expect) not 30 days out!
We want to know how to turn WARNING or notifications off, not change Max Days setting. There doesn't appear to be any way.... but your post is misleading, there is still no solution.
This is configurable as part of the vSphere Web (Flex) / H5 (HTML) Client configuration
Web Client - /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties
H5 Client - /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/webclient.properties
The default is 30 days
# The number of days before the notification about expiring password appears.
sso.pending.password.expiration.notification.days = 30
You'll probably need to restart the service for the change to take effect
