Chapter 19 Advanced Configuration
Configuring Password and PIN Parameters
The default length is 3 alphanumeric characters. The maximum password length is 32 alphanumeric
characters. The maximum PIN length is 16 alphanumeric characters.
To set the password or PIN length to the system default values, use the no or default form of the
commands.
Note If the minimum password or PIN length is increased, existing passwords and PINs that do not
conform to the new limit will automatically expire. The subscriber must reset the password at
the next log in to the GUI and must reset the PIN at the next log in to the TUI.
• Password and PIN expiry time
Cisco Unity Express permits the administrator to configure the password and PIN expiry time on a
system-wide basis. The expiry time is the time, in days, for which the password and PIN are valid.
When this time is reached, the subscriber must enter a new password or PIN.
If this option is not configured, passwords and PINs do not expire.
Use the GUI Defaults > User option or the procedure described below to configure this time.
The password expiry time does not have to equal the PIN expiry time.
The valid range is 3 to 365 days.
To set the password or PIN expiry time to the system default values, use the no or default form of
the commands.
