Require strong passwords |
Select this check box to enable strong password composition. If this option is enabled, passwords must meet the following requirements:

Password expiration period | Specifies the password expiration period in days. When the expiration period is reached, you must create a new password. Passwords must not be changed more than once in a 24-hour period without intervention by a security administrator. |
Passwords to save in history | Specifies the number of passwords to save in history. When changing passwords, any passwords saved history are not allowed to be reused. |
Use automatic account lockout | Select this check box to lock out users who repeatedly try but fail to enter the correct password. This can reduce the risk of unauthorized intrusions by password guessing. Configure the Lockout threshold settings to specify the number of tries in a specified number of minutes that will lock out a user. The default is 5 tries within a 5 minute period. |
Automatically unlock account | Select this check box to automatically unlock accounts that reach the Lockout threshold after the number of minutes specified by Lockout period. An administrator will have to unlock locked accounts if you do not select this check box. The default period is 15 minutes. |

Auditing information is saved by default. For a complete list of actions that will be saved, see Actions Saved in Auditing Information. |
