Setting password expiration

You can configure password expiration options for the IBM® Cognos® Inventive Compensation Management client.

1. Go to Admin > Administrative Options.
2. Select the User tab.
3. Select the Passwords expire after check box to force users to create new passwords at predefined intervals.

5. In the This will repeat every field, type the number of days that the system will wait before sending out another password expiration notification.
6. In the Show final password warning field, type the number of minutes before the password expires that the system sends the final password expiration notification to users.
