Documentation
Definition
When the user administrator sets up a new user account or sets the password of an existing user account to a new value, the user needs to change this "initial" password at his or her next interactive logon (to ensure that the password is known only to the user himself or herself).
You can use this security policy attribute to define the maximum period of time between the time of the password being (re)set and the next logon with the initial password. After this period expires, the system displays the message "Initial password has expired" and the logon is rejected.
Use
Permissible values: 0 - 24000 (specified in days)
If you specify the value 0, initial passwords are valid for an unlimited period.
This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/password_max_idle_initial.
