PWEXP—Password Expiration Interval

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the PWEXP control option to specify a password expiration interval.

Note the following:

PWEXP is modifiable during CA Top Secret execution and requires console authority.
Changing the expiration interval would have no effect on current users; only on users who have been created after the change.

All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

PWEXP(0|nnn)

nnn

The number of days before passwords expire.

Range: 1 to 255

Default: 30

0

Passwords for all new users never expire.

This example sets the default password expiration interval for new ACIDs to 50 days.
