Parameter
login/password_max_idle_initial
Short text
Validity Period of Unused Initial Passwords
Parameter Description
When the user administrator sets up a new user account or sets the password of an existing user account to a new value, the user needs to change this “initial” password at his or her next logon (to ensure that the password is known only to the user himself or herself).
You can use this parameter to define the maximum period of time between the time of the password being (re)set and the next logon with the initial password. After this period expires, the system displays the message “Initial password has expired” and the logon is rejected.
Exception
User accounts of the types SERVICE and SYSTEM. (Password is immediately valid, and remains valid for an unlimited period of time. The password can only be changed by the user administrator.)
