The minimum password length is the minimum number of
characters allowed in any user’s password.
The minimum password lifetime is the minimum number of days
that must elapse before any user can change his password.
Sometimes a user, annoyed at being forced to change his password
(or worried about forgetting the new one) will be tempted to change
back to the old one soon afterward. The minimum password lifetime
feature will prevent this.
The maximum password lifetime is the number of days that a
user’s password will remain valid; after this, the user will be forced
to change his password at the next logon attempt. The maximum
password lifetime applies only to those users who have the Expiry
(Password) attribute set in their user accounts.
To set the security password configuration:
1. Ensure that the Security Status is “Enabled” (choose the
Change Status button if it is not).
