Legacy security policy

The IBM® Flex System Manager management software Legacy security policy is the least secure and most flexible setting that is available for your configuration.

• Weak password policies with minimal controls are permitted
  Note: For more information about the password policy settings that are allowed for the Legacy security policy, see Password policy settings for the Legacy security policy.
• Manufacturing default passwords that do not have to be changed
