Chapter 5 Password Policy Configuration Scenario

Step 3: Configure Session Policy

Specify Password Inactivity Options

In the Password Inactivity Options section, configure:

•The password will require change after n days—Following the last account activity, if enabled, n specifies the number of days before ACS requires a change of password due to password inactivity The default value is 30 days; the range is 1 to 365 days. When checked (enabled), the Administrator will be locked after n days option causes ACS to compare the two Password Inactivity Options and use the greater value of the two.

Note For additional security, ACS does not warn users who are approaching the limit for password inactivity.

•The Administrator will be locked out after n days—Following the last account activity, if enabled, n specifies the number of days before ACS locks out the associated administrator account due to password inactivity (default = 30, range = 1 to 365).

Note For additional security, ACS does not warn users who are approaching the limit for account inactivity.

Specify Incorrect Password Attempt Options

In the Incorrect Password Attempt Options section, configure:

Lock out Administrator after n successive failed attempts—If checked (enabled), n specifies the allowable number of incorrect password attempts. When checked, n cannot be set to zero (0). If not checked (disabled), ACS allows unlimited successive failed login attempts. The default value is 3 days; the range = 1 to 98 days.

Note For additional security, ACS does not warn users who are approaching the limit for failed attempts. If the Account Never Expires option is checked (enabled) for a specific administrator, this option is ignored.
