Password Expiration and Grace Logins

The interval parameter sets the maximum number of days a password can be used. When the specified number of days passes, CA Access Control informs the user that the current password has expired. The user can then renew the password immediately, or continue using the old password until the number of grace logins is reached. In the latter case, the user cannot access the system and must contact the system administrator to select a new password.
