Short Description
Validity period of unused productive passwords
Parameter Description
When the user changes his or her password (but not, however, if the password is set by the user administrator), “productive” password is created. This user can only change this password again after the period specified by parameter login/password_change_waittime, at the earliest. The parameter login/password_expiration_time specifies the period of time after which the system prompts the user to change his or her password.
You can use this parameter to set the maximum interval between the time of the last password change and the next logon with this password. After this period has passed, the message “Password was not used for a long period and therefore deactivated” is displayed, and the log is rejected. SAP recommend that you set login/password_expiration_time to a smaller value than parameter login/password_max_idle_productive.
