Network Login General Configuration
Concerning item (9), Authentication Timeout, note the following recommendation: If using the
Security Dynamics Ace Server, modify the timeout value to be greater than the change
frequency value of the SecurID cards. Refer to the Security Dynamics documentation for more
information on this change frequency value. In addition, if you are using a VRA Manager for
call control management, this timeout value must represent the amount of time for the
authenticating agent to respond to the login attempt, and for VRA Manger to respond as well.
These times should be based on network configuration.
