Default how to disable first time password change in AIX

Hi, I am new in AIX.

I have a problem in setting up new user account in AIX. When I create
a new account, the new user is required to reset password when log in
first time. Is there anyway I can disable this setting? I am
authenticating user through a OpenLdap server. I do not want user
change password from AIX client.

Thanks.

clear the ADMCHG flag of the user account with "pwdadm -c <user>".
Maybe it is sufficient to not set an initial password anyway. As with
openssh on aix, when key authentication is used, no password need to be set.
