Documentation
Definition
When the user changes his or her password (but not when the password is set by the user administrator), a productive password is created. This password can only be changed again by the user after a definable wait time.
You can use this security policy attribute to define the maximum period of time between the time of the last password change and the next logon with this password. Once this period has expired, the system displays the message "Password was not used for a long period and therefore deactivated" and rejects the logon.
Use
Permissible values: 0 - 24000 (specified in days)
If you specify the value 0, productive passwords are valid for an unlimited period.
This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/password_max_idle_productive.
Dependencies
The security policy attribute PASSWORD_CHANGE_INTERVAL defines the period after which the system prompts the user to change his or her password.
We recommend that you set PASSWORD_CHANGE_INTERVAL to a value smaller than that of this security policy attribute (MAX_PASSWORD_IDLE_PRODUCTIVE).
