What is Oracle's password history feature?
Rating:
Oracle's password history feature ensures that a user cannot reuse a password during a specified time interval. It also ensures that a user is required to change a password for a specified number of times before he can reuse the password. The PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME parameter is used to specify the time interval during which a password cannot be reused. The PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX parameter is used to specify the number of password changes required before a password can be reused. Only one of these two parameters can be specified at a time, i.e., if one of these two parameters is set to an integer value, the other must be set to UNLIMITED.
