Description

The RAM account password policy attribute password_reuse_prevention should be defined and set to 24 or less. If password_reuse_prevention is missing, the rule reports a MissingAttribute issue and recommends adding password_reuse_prevention = 24. If it is present but set to a value greater than 24, the rule reports an IncorrectValue issue and recommends replacing it with 24.
