aut00000.gif Duress PINs


If your system has the duress PIN option installed, you have two PINs: a regular PIN and a duress PIN.

If you use your duress PIN, you will be granted access to the protected resource and see no difference in operation. However, the next time the ACE/Server administration program is run, the administrator will be notified that you have been forced by an intruder to log in.

Your duress PIN is your regular PIN with "1" added to it but with no carrying. For example, if your regular PIN is 2435, your duress PIN is 2436; if your PIN is 24399, you duress PIN is 24390.

If you use a Standard SecurID card or Key Fob, your PIN might contain letters. In this case, if your regular PIN is ABCDE, your duress PIN would be ABCDF.
