Allow pwage expiration > 180 on user defined policy

When configuring user defined policy on HMC most values are configurable to what is needed to conform to our company password policy but pwage is not configurable to 365 or 99999. It is restricted to up to 180 days.

    Hi,

    Maximum days for password expiry has been changed from 180 to 365 with HMC 10.1.1010.0.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    We are evaluating the request for allowing the password expiration for more than 180 days . You also mentioned "It would also be nice to have a inactivity_expiration date on a user defined policy". The HMC does have a setting is user properties "Disable for inactivity in days" which can be set to a value other than 0 to lock out the user if no activity from the user for x number of days.

    Thanks.
