Secure security policy

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

The Secure security controls setting, or Secure policy, is the default security setting that establishes a secure chassis infrastructure with a moderate level of user control over the chassis configuration. It helps to ensure a secure chassis infrastructure and enforces the use of the following conditions:

• Strong password policies with automatic validation and verification checks
  Note: For more information about the password policy settings that are required for the Secure security policy, see Password policy settings for the Secure security policy.
• Updated passwords that replace the manufacturing default passwords after the initial setup
• Only secure communication protocols may be enabled
• Secure and trusted connections are required for all communication with the IBM Flex System Manager management node
