Fix Recommendation

Configure AAA Services to enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction. Additionally, configure AAA Services to force password change upon the first logon after the expiration of the 60 days. This requirement is not applicable to service account passwords (e.g. shared secrets, pre-shared keys) or the account of last resort.

Check Contents

If AAA Services rely on directory services for user account management, this is not applicable and the connected directory services must perform this function. This requirement is not applicable to service account passwords (e.g. shared secrets, pre-shared keys) or the account of last resort.

Where passwords are used, such as temporary or emergency accounts, verify AAA Services are configured to enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction. Additionally, AAA Services must force password change upon the first logon after the expiration of the 60 days.

If AAA Services are not configured to enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction, this is a finding.
