User ID Rules
A SuperUser can set the minimum allowable number of characters in user names and
passwords by selecting User ID Rules from the Administration menu.
From this menu, select the Username or Password and enter the required minimum
number of characters. These values must be set to at least 6 characters to satisfy FIPS
140-2 security requirements.
NOTE:
The Broadmore will only enforce the minimum length values
when creating new user accounts. Old accounts are not affected. It is up to
the Superuser (Crypto Officer) to ensure that all user accounts meet FIPS
140-2 security requirements.
