I'm struggling to find the Password Date field that @paul-griffith pointed out to me in this post:

> [@Script function to check if a user password has expired](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/script-function-to-check-if-a-user-password-has-expired/28278/9):
>
> The InternalUserRecord class has a com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.authentication.records.InternalUserRecord#PasswordDate field. You would compare that against the max age set on the user source.

Can someone please help me find this class via the GatewayContext variable?

EDIT:  
This is what I have so far

```auto
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.user.User;
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.localdb.persistence.LongField;
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.localdb.persistence.PersistenceSession;
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.model.GatewayContext;
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.user.UserSourceProfile;

import java.util.Optional;

public class GatewayScriptModule extends AbstractScriptModule {
    private GatewayContext gc;

    public GatewayScriptModule(GatewayContext gc){
        this.gc = gc;
    }
    @Override
    protected LongField getUserPasswordDate(String userSource, String userName){
        UserSourceProfile userSourceProfile = gc.getUserSourceManager().getProfile(userSource);

        gc.getUserSourceManager().findUserProperty()

        try {
            User user = userSourceProfile.getUser(userName);
            user.
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            return null;
        }
    }
}

```

Thanks,  
Brandon

You’re going to need to query for the underlying record using the ID provided by the `User` instance (under the assumption that the bare `Serializable` returned by `User.getId()` is always going to be an `Integer`); something like:

```java
    protected Long getUserPasswordDate(String userSource, String userName) {
        try {
            UserSourceProfile userSourceProfile = gc.getUserSourceManager().getProfile(userSource);
            return userSourceProfile.getUser(userName)
                .map(user -> {
                        var query = new SQuery<>(InternalUserRecord.META).eq(InternalUserRecord.UserId, user.getId());
                        return gc.getPersistenceInterface().queryOne(query);
                    }
                ).map(record -> record.getLong(InternalUserRecord.PasswordDate))
                .orElseThrow();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

```
