By default, the administrative password for the Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance expires in 90 days. However, you can disable the password expiry after the appliance initial installation and configuration.

If your admin password expires, you are not able to log in and manage components. Additionally, any task or API call that requires the admin password to execute results with a failure. To resolve such cases in advance, you can disable the password expiry so the password never expires.

Procedure

  1. From your browser, log in to the vCenter Server at https://<vCenter IP/Domain address> using the admin credentials. The Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance is located here.
  2. Navigate to the Appliance > General > Password Settings tab.
    By default, the admin password expiry option is enabled.
  3. To disable the expiration of your admin password, click the related toggle switch.
    The toggle switches its state to inactive.

Results

You are not promted for a password update.
