Configuring the change interval rule
About this task
Use the following procedure to configure the change interval rule. The system enforces a minimum password change interval, which defines the minimum amount of time before you can change to a new password. By default, the minimum change interval is 24 hours between changing from one password to a new password.
Before you begin
You must enable enhanced secure mode in either the JITC or non-JITC sub-modes. As a best practice, use the non-JITC sub-mode because the JITC sub-mode is more restrictive and prevents the use of some troubleshooting utilities.
Procedure
Example
