6The correct answer is B, three. RSA Authentication Manager documentation specifies that a maximum of three active tokens and/or user fixed passcodes can be assigned to a single user at one time, which is a hard limit enforced by the system regardless of token type or combination.
Froze on this one until I pictured a THREE-legged stool holding your tokens steady, never more. B all day.
The three-legged stool is a solid visual, though I'd add that the legs aren't equal weight, rate limiting is really the load-bearing one since QoS and burst controls are just enforcement mechanisms on top of it.
Three is the limit per user, and that is a hard cap enforced by Authentication Manager regardless of token type mix, so a user could hold, for example, two hardware tokens and one software token, or one token and two fixed passcodes, as long as the total does not exceed three.
Thought it was A, but the RSA spec clearly allows up to three.
Right, and my sticky for it is "Two Primes Minimum, Three Is Fine" so you picture a trio of prime bodyguards at the RSA door, just remember the exam loves to bait you with "exactly two" as the only valid answer when multi-prime RSA is a legit spec option.
