2. PIN length requirement
3. Change PIN Policy
4. Change token policy

To alter a token policy, find the policy assigned to the Security Domain you want to alter. Keep in mind that a policy can be assigned to more than one Security Domain, and a change to the policy will affect all of those Security Domains.

Open a Security Console and go to Administration->Security Domains->Manage Existing. The existing Security Domains are listed and each can be viewed to show the currently assigned policies.

To alter the token policy, go to Authentication->Policies->Token Policies->Manage Existing. Edit the policy to which you want to make a change. Under SecurID PIN Format, Change the Minimum Length to 8 and the Maximum Length to 8. You can also change the policy to require alphanumeric PINs. At the bottom of the page click Save. The policy change is immediate.
