TCMax must enforce 24 hours/1 day as the minimum password lifetime.

Rule version TCMA-09-000070 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-31

Discussion

Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement.

Restricting this setting limits the user's ability to change their password. Passwords must be changed at specific policy based intervals; however, if the application allows the user to immediately and continually change their password, then the password could be repeatedly changed in a short period of time to defeat the organization's policy regarding password reuse.

Check

1. Using an account of appropriate privileges to access TCMax, go to Settings >> User Options.

2. Click the "Configure" menu option at the top of the window, then click "Account Security Policy".

If "Enable Password Enforcement Policy" is unchecked, this is a finding.

If "Minimum Password Life (Hours)" is less than "24", this is a finding.

Fix

1. Using an account of appropriate privileges to access TCMax, go to Settings >> User Options.

2. Click the "Configure" menu option at the top of the window, then click "Account Security Policy".

3. Ensure "Enable Password Enforcement Policy" is checked.
