The PASSWORD expiration day(s) value must be set to equal or less then 60 days.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>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. </VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Manager</Responsibility><Responsibility>Systems Programmer</Responsibility><IAControls>IAIA-1, IAIA-2</IAControls>
