samba - May 2023 - samba-tool : how to remove expiry date of an account

Hi list :) 

I am looking for the right command to achieve my goal. 

I
would like to remove the account expiry date of an ACCOUNT with a
samba-tool command (account never expires) 

Options of "samba-tool user
setexpiry" are :
--filter=FILTER LDAP Filter to set password
on
--days=DAYS Days to expiry
--noexpiry 

Unfortunately, the "noexpiry"
parameter just set another option which is "the PASSWORD never
expires"
which is related to the passord, and so serve a totally different goal.


AFAIK, I cannot use the "edit" parameter since I would to do it on an
non-interactive mode. 

Does anybody already achieve this ? 

Many
thanks for your interest !

Only in the commands help.

It doesn't touch the password, it alters the 'userAccountControl'
and
'accountExpires' attributes, the latter is to '0' (i.e. never)
in the
case of no expiry.
