Locking and unlocking user accounts

If a user enters an invalid password five consecutive times, the Security LockOut feature will temporarily disable that account. If a user attempts to log in again, the software client application displays an appropriate error message. All accounts (user, user admin and appliance admin) are subject to this lockout policy.

An appliance administrator can specify the number of hours (1 to 99) that accounts will remain locked. When Enable Lock-outsis unchecked, the security lock-out feature will be disabled and no users will be locked out.

If an account becomes locked, it will remain locked until the Duration time has elapsed, the appliance is power-cycled or an administrator unlocks the account via the AMP. A user administrator may unlock only user accounts, whereas an appliance administrator may unlock any type of account.
