By default, the expiration of cardholders and credentials is set to Never. You can force cardholders and credentials to have an expiration by removing the Never option with a setting in Config Tool.

What you should know

  • You can only remove the Never option from Config Tool and Security Desk. The SDK is unaffected by this change.
  • Removing the Never option does not affect the expiration of existing cardholders and credentials that were set to never expire. An invalid status warning and an error in the expiration is displayed, but you must manually select a new expiration option for those cardholders and credentials.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task, and click the General settings view.
  2. Click the Advanced settings tab.
  3. Click Add an item ().
  4. In the Name field, enter RemoveNeverExpireFromCardholdersAndCredentials.
  5. In the Value field, enter True.

    Config Tool Advanced settings with Add button and RemoveNeverExpire FromCardholdersAndCredentials option highlighted.
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Restart Config Tool and Security Desk.

Results

The Never option is no longer visible.
Cardholder with an invalid status warning and without the Never option for expiration in Config Tool.
