Documentation

Definition

Passwords can be guessed, and it is therefore necessary to limit the number of failed password logon attempts. Once the limit defined using this security policy attribute has been exceeded, a password lock is set; if a password lock is active, further attempts to log on using a password are blocked.

Use

Possible values: 1 - 99

This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/fails_to_user_lock.

Dependencies

You can set a time period for the duration of a password lock.
