Password Ageing
(Days):
Newly created accounts that are not part of the administration
group can optionally expire passwords by setting this value to
the number of days a password is valid before a change is
required.
Accounts that attempt to log in prior to the expiration date may
change the password to reset the counter. Accounts that
exceed this setting without a password change will be forced to
change the password prior to accessing any other
configuration screens. Valid settings for this option are:
• None
• 30 Days
• 60 Days
• 90 Days
Default value = None
Existing accounts will start the password ageing on the login
attempt after this change is made.
Inactive User
Expiration (Days):
Newly created accounts that are not part of the administration
group can optionally expire logins that are inactive exceeding
the value specified here.
A setting of 0 (default) disables this feature, otherwise the
number of days of inactivity before being locked out ranges
from 1 to 255.
Existing accounts will start the user expiration on the login
attempt after this change is made.
