AIX root passwords must never be passed over a network in clear text form.
Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily c...Rule High Severity -

AIX Operating systems must enforce 24 hours/1 day as the minimum password lifetime.
Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps to prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. If users are allowed to immediately and continually...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
AIX Operating systems must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
