Change RHEL Users Expiration Date

In RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), you can change a user’s expiration date using the terminal. Here’s how:

• Open a terminal…
• Switch to the root user or use a user with administrative privileges.
• To view the current expiration date for a user, use the chage command with the -l option followed by the username:

  chage -l username
  

• To change the expiration date for a user, use the chage command with the -E option followed by the new date in YYYY-MM-DD format:

  chage -E YYYY-MM-DD username
  

  Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the desired expiration date and username with the actual username.

  • Note: Make sure to choose an appropriate expiration date based on your requirements and security policies.
• Verify the changes by running the chage -l username command again.

  chage -l username
  

  Congratulations. That’s it!!! You have successfully changed the expiration date for the RHEL user using the terminal.
