[p4] long ticket expiration

[steve@vance.com]

I generally create an infinite password and appeal for the automated
process to be an exception from the password change policy. If that won't
work, then you need to create the ticket when the password changes.

Subject: [p4] long ticket expiration


Morning,

One group here requests that I set them to never expire, I think because
partly they don't like the hassle of logging on, and also their scripts
have been failing when run at 4am.

Being fairly new to Perforce I'd like to ask for some advice, what do
other people do?

Should I tell them to "login" in their scripts, but the problem then is,
we use the integration with LDAP, and when their windows passwords
expire (3 months), they will forget to change their scripts, and end up
locking their accounts.

Or, I was thinking set it to 24 hours so their nightly scripts will
succeed? But then, (I don't think tickets get automatically extended are
they?) it will timeout from the previous day possibly soon after they
start working, so I was thinking 22 hours?

Infinite expiration just seems wrong, although I'm not sure why. Perhaps
because they could pass the ticket around and an infinite ticket is more
valuable than a 24 hour one?

Anyway, you see my problem. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

cheers, jamie
