Configuring password change frequency using the CLI

Use cmc execute appliance <applianceName> command "aaa authentication password local require-change max-password-age all <days>" and specify the managed appliance’s hostname in the Central Management System appliance. See the Trellix Central Management System Administration Guide for details.
