Periodic Challenge Time IT policy rule
Description
This rule specifies the security timeout interval (in minutes) after which a BlackBerry® device locks and prompts a user to type
a password, regardless of whether the BlackBerry device was active during that interval.
Default value
By default, if you change the Enable Long-Term Timeout IT policy rule to Yes, the security timeout interval is turned on and set
to 60 minutes.
Usage
Type a periodic challenge time to shorten or extend the security timeout interval to a value that is within the range of 1 to 1440
minutes.
Dependencies
A BlackBerry device uses this rule only if a password is configured on the BlackBerry device. To require that a user configure a
password, configure the Password Required IT policy rule to Yes. You can also change the User Can Change Timeout IT policy
rule to No so that a user cannot change the timeout settings on a BlackBerry device.
