Defining Password Aging<br />

The duration of password validity is determined by the value of the<br />

PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_DAYS System Flag.<br />

• Passwords can be set to be valid for durations of between 0 and 90<br />

days.<br />

• If the System Flag is set to 0, user passwords do not expire. The System<br />

Flag cannot be set to 0 when the <strong>RMX</strong> is in Enhanced Security Mode.<br />

• In Enhanced Security Mode, the minimum duration can be set to 7 days<br />

and the default duration is 60 days.<br />

The display of a warning to the user of the number of days until password<br />

expiration is determined by the value of the<br />

PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_WARNING_DAYS System Flag.<br />

• Possible number of days to display expiry warnings is between 0 and<br />

14.<br />

• If the System Flag is set to 0, password expiry warnings are not<br />

displayed. The System Flag cannot be set to 0 when the <strong>RMX</strong> is in<br />

Enhanced Security Mode.<br />

• In Enhanced Security Mode, the earliest warning can be displayed 14<br />

days before passwords are due to expire and the latest warning can<br />

be displayed 7 days before passwords are due to expire (default<br />

setting).<br />

• If a user attempts to log in after his/her password has expired, an<br />

error is displayed: User must change password.<br />

Defining Password Change Frequency<br />

The frequency with which a user can change a password is determined by<br />

the value of the MIN_PWD_CHANGE_FREQUENCY_IN_DAYS System<br />

Flag. The value of the flag is the number of days that users must retain a<br />

password.<br />

• Possible retention period is between 0 and 7 days. In Enhanced<br />

Security Mode the retention period is between 1 (default) and 7.<br />

• If the System Flag is set to 0, users do not have to change their<br />

passwords. The System Flag cannot be set to 0 when the <strong>RMX</strong> is in<br />

Enhanced Security Mode.<br />

• If a user attempts to change a password within the time period<br />

specified by this flag, an error, Password change is not allowed before<br />

defined min time has passed, is displayed.
