This rule specifies the security timeout interval (in hours) after which the BlackBerry® device locks and prompts the user to
type a password, regardless of whether the BlackBerry device has been active during that interval.
Default setting
If you set the Enable Long-Term Timeout IT policy rule to True, the security timeout interval is turned on and set to 1 hour by
default.
Usage
Type a periodic challenge time to shorten or extend the security timeout interval to a value within the range of 1 hour to 24
hours.
Dependencies
Set the Enable Long-Term Timeout IT policy rule to restrict the timeout settings available on the BlackBerry device. You can
also set the User Can Change Timeout IT policy rule to False so that a user cannot change the timeout settings on the
BlackBerry device.
