Password policy (password expiry after certain time) morph 05-20-08

We need to enforce password policy for the acounts of the admins
managing the cisco equipment. Basicly what we need is to have a certain
password expiry time.
I found this
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.1/configuration/guide/pwpolicy.html
which is a Password Policy Configuration Scenario for Cisco ACS.

Is there a cheaper or simpler way to do this without having to buy Cisco
Secure ACS? Maybe with Microsoft IAS as RADIUS server?

Regards.

Cisco devices can absolutely be pointed to IAS for device management. The
configs are device dependant, but pretty much all modern devices support it.
Here's a good AAA overview for IOS devices.
