Defender 6.5.1 - Administration Guide

Provides the following text boxes:

• Name  Type a name for the Defender Security Policy being created.
• Description  Type a description for the Defender Security Policy being created.

Provides the following elements:

• Method  Select a primary authentication method for the Defender Security Policy. An authentication method determines the passcode that the user must enter when attempting to authenticate. You can select one of the following authentication methods:
• Token  The user must use a token response to authenticate.
• Defender password  The user must enter a valid Defender password to authenticate.
• Active Directory password  The user must enter a valid Active Directory password to authenticate.
• Token with Defender password  The user must enter a token response followed by a valid Defender password to authenticate.
• Defender password with token  The user must enter a valid Defender password followed by a token response to authenticate.
• Token with Active Directory password  The user must enter a token response followed by a valid Active Directory password to authenticate.
• Active Directory password with token  The user must enter a valid Active Directory password followed by a token response to authenticate.
• Active Directory password (rollout mode)  The user can authenticate with the Active Directory password until a security token is assigned or registered to the user’s Active Directory account. After a security token has been assigned or registered for the user, the user must submit the token response to authenticate. For more information, see Defender Rollout Mode
• GrIDsure token (auto-enrollment mode)  The user must authenticate by using a GrIDsure Personal Identification Pattern (PIP). During the first authentication, the user is prompted to configure a GrIDsure PIP to be used for subsequent authentications.
• Logon Attempts  Enter the number of times that the user can attempt to log on. If the number of unsuccessful logon attempts exceeds the specified limit, the violation count for the user’s account is incremented.
• Use Synchronous tokens as event tokens  Enables the use of the same DIGIPASS GO token response for logon to more that one system without generating a new response, provided that the logon process takes less than 36 seconds which is the validity period for a DIGIPASS GO token response.

Specify parameters for the additional authentication method you want the user to use. If you want to disable the additional authentication method, from the Method list, select None.

Other options in the Method list are identical to those available in the Select an authentication method step of the wizard.

Provides the following options:

• Enable Account Lockout  When this check box is selected, it causes the user’s Defender account to be locked out if the user has exceeded the number of violations (failed logon attempts) specified n the Lockout after n violations option.
• If you select the Lockout Windows account after indicated violations check box, this causes the user’s Windows account to be locked out after the specified number of failed logon attempts has been exceeded by the user. This option requires the Windows account lockout option to be enabled in Domain Security Policy or Domain Controller Security Policy.
• Locked accounts must be unlocked by an administrator  Specifies that locked accounts can only be unlocked by an administrator. Use the Lockout duration option to set the lockout duration in minutes. The lockout duration period is counted from the moment of most recent logon attempt. That is, if the user attempts to logon while the account is still locked, the lockout duration is recalculated from the moment of that last attempt. If you set the Lockout duration value to 0, the locked user accounts can only be unlocked by an administrator.
• Automatically reset account after successful login  Resets the count of unsuccessful logon attempts to 0 after the user successfully logs on.
