in our OC-System we have users complaining their public shares running into timeouts even if they intentionally activate the "no timeout" option. They also protect the shares by the password-option. After ~3 months the users trying to use the shares can't reach them anymore because OC sends back "invalid link". I need to get information about those shares from the system. Following this documentation "https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.0/developer_manual/core/ocs-share-api.html" fails because login as user is not possible (password lacking).
Does anybody have an administrative solution for questioning the informations about shares and their expirations? Is there possibly a hidden password expiration option somewhere in owncloud?
Is it possible that your users have to change their password every 90 days and that’s what causing the shares to fail?
We are not talking about OC- or linux-users. This is concerning guests who received mails with links to shares and password-protected access to that shares. Are there options in OC concerning password expirations?
Your second post: I'll give it a try and report later.
Well, did you find your shares in question in the oc_share table?
Basically if you don't set a expiration date for the password on a share, it should not expire. If it does happen, I would investigate first with the oc_shares table, then check back with the users, on how did they shared, and go from there.
