             Summary: Allow for admin password to expire
                 Key: OAK-7863
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-7863
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: core
            Reporter: angela


today the admin account is explicitly exempted from password expiry. if i 
remember this is due to the fact that sling uses the admin user to create 
system sessions. however, that latter has proven to be a bit cumbersome and 
adobe AEM uses a different mechanism to create system session. for this reason 
i think we should allow for enabling pw-expiry for the admin user while still 
keeping the existing behaviour as default for backwards compatibility.

[~stillalex], will attach a patch later today for review and discussion.
