Check Point
TMA-CHECKPOINT-1.5
Ensure Password Expiration is set to 90 days
Description
The number of days for which a password is valid. After that time, the password expires. The count starts when the user changes their passwords. Users are required to change an expired password the next time they log in. If set to never, passwords do not expire. Does not apply to SNMP users. PASS requires password-expiration between 1 and 90 days. Audited against the Gaia clish 'show configuration' output (run 'show configuration' in clish on each gateway and management server and save the full output).
