| Description | ||||
| Expiration Day(s) specifies the maximum number of days that each user's password is valid. When a user logs on to the Hardware Management Console it compares the system password interval value specified in the user profile and it uses the lower of the two values to determine if the user's, password has expired. The improper setting of any of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. | ||||

Check Text (C-256879r998332_chk)
Have the system administrator (SA) display the Password Profile Task window on the Hardware Management Console and validate that the Expiration day(s) is set to equal or less than 60 days.
If the expiration day(s) is set to equal or less then 60 days, this is not a finding.
If the expiration day(s) is greater than 60 days, then this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-60497r998331_fix)
Have the SA go into the Password Profile and set the Expiration day(s) to equal or less then 60 days.
