End-user Experience
Once the end-user lands on the page that prompts for the password, the alert for the password expiration appears
Note
This could be a warning stating that the password will expire in X days; or a warning that the password has expired, as shown in the image
If it is just a warning message, then the end-user is not required to change the password
Enter the current password (which is still valid) in the Password field, and then click Submit to gain access into the realm
If it is a password expired message, then the end-user must change the password before preceding
The end-user sets the new password, and hits Submit, therefore changing the expired password to a new one and gaining access into the realm's target resource (application, IdM tool, etc.)
