By default when a HANA user is created, the password lifetime is set to 182 days (6 months).  This can be modified via the configuration options as seen below.

In HANA Studio go to

  • Administration
  • Configuration tab
  • Expand indexserver.ini
  • Expand password policy
  • Confirm the value for maximum_password_lifetime

In the event that a user's password does expire, how does a user using one of the frontend BI4 tools know?  Find out below.

To show what happens when a user’s password has expired,  we force the user to change their password with the following SQL statement

 ALTER USER <MYUSER> FORCE PASSWORD CHANGE

The client tools show a different error message depending on which one is used.  Only the Analysis Edition for Microsoft, lets a user change thier password within the tool itself.
