Option

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Account Never

If you want to override the lockout options set up on the Administrator

 

Expires

Password Policy page (with the exception of manual lockout), check the check

 

 

 

 

box next to Account Never Expires. If you check this option, the account never

 

 

 

 

expires but password change policy remains in effect. The default value is

 

 

 

 

unchecked (disabled).

 

 

 

 

 

Account Locked

If you want to lock out an administrator who is denied access due to the account

 

 

 

 

policy options specified on the Password Policy page, check the check box for

 

 

 

 

Account Locked. When unchecked (disabled), this option unlocks an

 

 

 

 

administrator who was locked out.

 

 

 

 

Administrators who have the Administration Control privilege can use this

 

 

 

 

option to manually lock out an account or reset locked accounts. The system

 

 

 

 

displays a message that explains the reason for a lockout.

 

 

 

 

When an administrator unlocks an account, ACS resets the Last Password

 

 

 

 

Change and the Last Activity fields to the day on which the administrator

 

 

 

 

unlocks the account.

 

 

 

 

The reset of a locked account does not affect the configuration of the lockout

 

 

 

 

and unlock mechanisms for failed attempts.

Step 5

If you want to grant specific privileges to the administrator, check the check boxes that correspond to
