I was curious to know if Proxmox had a built-in method of doing password expiry for user accounts that are not `root`? I was hoping to make it so the password would expire every 90 days, similar to the `chage` command. I am pretty sure if you use PAM authentication instead of PVE Authentication, you can then use the chage command to do this, but I was curious what PAM authentication would also come with? I don't want these users having SSH, homedirs, or even a UID really... These are purely WebUI access.
 
no, such a feature does not exist - it also goes against current recommendations for password verification.
