How to change the password of Oracle OS user to never expired from UNIX OS


Step 1:
[root@UVWX ~]# chage -l oracle
Last password change                                    : Mar 09, 2017
Password expires                                        : Jun 07, 2017
Password inactive                                       : never
Account expires                                         : never
Minimum number of days between password change          : 1
Maximum number of days between password change          : 90
Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
 
Step 2: (Same Password)
[root@UVWX ~]# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
 
You can now choose the new password or passphrase.
 
A good password should be a mix of upper and lower case letters,
digits, and other characters.  You can use a 5 character long
password.
 
A passphrase should be of at least 3 words, 5 to 40 characters
long, and contain enough different characters.
 
Alternatively, if no one else can see your terminal now, you can
pick this as your password: "awful&serial&Dutch".
 
Enter new password:
Re-type new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
 
Step 3:
[root@UVWX ~]# chage -M 365 oracle ============> This is for 365 days extension
[root@UVWX ~]# chage -l oracle
Last password change                                    : Jun 14, 2017
Password expires                                        : Jun 14, 2018
Password inactive                                       : never
Account expires                                         : never
Minimum number of days between password change          : 1
Maximum number of days between password change          : 365
Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
