Password Expiration Warning

Having a warning that the password used to log into the storage would alert users in advance and could proactively manage their passwords.

    While I'd love to proactively alert a customer that a password used to communicate to a storage system is about to expire, we don't have access to that information. We don't know what the password rules are pertaining to the user defined, nor do we have a way that I'm aware of to look up that information. Nor does the hardware return a warning that we logged in successfully but the password may expire soon. I could be wrong on that last one...but...if there was a warning it would only do us any good after a disconnect and reconnect. Since CSM is designed to have a constant connection to the hardware, a reconnect scenario that would surface that warning could be months before the actual expiration. So I don't think this would work very well. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss this further if you feel there is a valid way to produce this warning.
