Tip: When creating profiles, consider using a naming convention that offers
visual cues as to the function of the profile (e.g. Medium Strength Fixed, or High
Strength Fixed, etc.).
4
Set an
Authenticator Strength
for this profile. This is the numerical strength
value for this authenticator type. The strength is used by the AAA Server to
determine if sufficient strength exists to access a resource protected by a
fixed numerical authenticator strength. For more information about
authenticator strengths, see Table 7 on page 124.
Tip: The strengths you assign should reflect how effective you consider this
type of authenticator to be. You may want to give this profile a higher strength if
you increase the minimum password length, and you set passwords to expire in
a shorter length of time.
5
Select a group for this profile from the
Admin Group
list.
