Howto change password expiration in Apache Continuum

Apache Continuum is bothering me with regularly messages that my password has expired and I need to change it. Well, there is a way to turn password expiration completely off.
Just create the file

/path/to/continuum/conf/security.properties

with the following content:

security.policy.password.expiration.enabled=false
security.policy.password.expiration.days=90

 
No annoying password changes anymore. But keep in mind that this may be a security risk!
Another option is to extend the number of days a password needs to expire.

Have fun!
