Make the following menu selections to display this tab:
System—Setup—System Settings
Use this tab to establish an expiration period for all
user passwords. For example, you can set the password expiration period
to 45 days, meaning each password will expire 45 after it is created.
The first time the user logs on to the system after
the password expires, a message notifies the user that the password has
expired. To continue logging on to the system, the user is required to
create a new password.
Note
For information on how to exempt individual users from
this password expiration period, refer to User
Security General Tab.

not want any warning messages to appear, type 0.
