Documentation

Definition

This security policy attribute defines whether, and after how many days (since the last password change), the users are prompted to change their (non-initial) password again.

Users of the types SERVICE and SYSTEM are not affected by this rule; they are never prompted to change their passwords.

Use

Permissible values: 0 - 1000 (specified in days)

If you specify the value 0, users are not prompted to change their productive passwords unless a change due to tightening of the password rules becomes necessary. However, it is possible for unused productive passwords to become invalid.

This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/password_expiration_time.
