Platform: Amazon Linux
Database: PostgreSQL 9.5
privacyIDEA version: 2.21
Browsers: Chrome Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hello,

Is it possible to completely clear the validity period from the web portal token detail page?

Steps taken:

1- Log in to privacyIDEA web portal
2- All Tokens > Select a token > Info > Edit
3- Set validity period start and end
4- Save
5- Assign User
6- Un-assign user
7- Log out
8- Log back in to privacyIDEA web portal
9- All Tokens > Select same token as step 2 > Info > Edit
10- Clear and save (Note: The date defaults to current date and not cleared)

Thank you.

Hi Ali,
what do you mean with “completely clear”?

You mean somehow “delete” the existing validity period from a token?
You are right - this is not possible
…in the web UI.

However, when I take a look at your workflow, you might want to configure a token handler to either set the validity_period_start and validity_period_end to an empty string which would be the same as if it was not set:

github.com

privacyidea/privacyidea/blob/master/privacyidea/lib/tokenclass.py#L935


    ret = int(self.get_tokeninfo("count_auth_max", 0))
    return ret


def get_count_auth(self):
    """
    Return the number of all authentication tries
    """
    ret = int(self.get_tokeninfo("count_auth", 0))
    return ret


def get_validity_period_end(self):
    """
    returns the end of validity period (if set)
    if not set, "" is returned.
    :return: the end of the validity period
    :rtype: string
    """
    end = self.get_tokeninfo("validity_period_end", "")
    if end:
        end = parse_legacy_time(end)
    return end

So create two event handlers:

event: token_unassign
handler module: token
condition: maybe none
action: set tokeninfo
- key: validity_period_start
- value: “”

…and the same with validity_period_end.

Kind regards
Cornelius
