Setting a Time Limit on Password Reuse after Resetting Password

This profile will set the minimum number of days that a user must wait after changing his or her password before being allowed to reuse a password.

The user can use the new password once and then must wait the number of days you set before he or she can reuse the password.

For example, if the value of this profile is set to 5, a user who changes his or her password cannot reuse the password until five days after they reset.

If the profile value is set to the number 0, then there is no restriction on password reuse.

To set a limit on login attempts, do the following:

1. Log in. See How to Log In to Oracle Applications Profile Forms.
2. In the Profile field, enter Signon Password No Reuse
3. Click Find.
4. In the Site column, enter the non-negative integer you choose; for example, 5 or 0
5. In the File menu, select Save and Proceed. The system displays a message that the transaction is complete.
6. Click OK. The transaction message pop-up disappears.
7. Click the X in the upper right corner of the System Profile Values window to close the window.
