Re: WAM

[Doug Kariel <dougk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jamen,

Have a look on page 102149 of the user manual.  Under the heading Ver?, 
it explains how the table decides to verify or not for a given login. 
 Essentially, if the service level of the login is higher than the 
verify service level, then the login is not asked for verification.

Hope this helps.
