Defining Password Aging
The duration of password validity is determined by the value of the
PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_DAYS System Flag.
•

Passwords can be set to be valid for durations of between 0 and 90
days.

If the System Flag is set to 0, user passwords do not expire. The System
Flag cannot be set to 0 when the RMX is in Enhanced Security Mode.
•
In Enhanced Security Mode, the minimum duration can be set to 7 days
and the default duration is 60 days.
The display of a warning to the user of the number of days until password
expiration is determined by the value of the
PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_WARNING_DAYS System Flag.

Defining Password Change Frequency
The frequency with which a user can change a password is determined by

password.

Possible retention period is between 0 and 7 days. In Enhanced
Security Mode the retention period is between 1 (default) and 7.

passwords. The System Flag cannot be set to 0 when the RMX is in
Enhanced Security Mode.
•
If a user attempts to change a password within the time period
specified by this flag, an error, Password change is not allowed before
defined min time has passed, is displayed.
