Password Expiration Interval (QPWDEXPITV)

The Password Expiration Interval (QPWDEXPITV) system value controls the number of days allowed before a password must be changed.

If a user attempts to sign on after the password has expired, the system shows a display requiring that the password be changed before the user is allowed to sign on.
