Documentation

Definition

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

Normally, a password lock remains in force without a limit, and must be manually released. However, it is also possible to define a maximum validity period for password locks.

Use

Value    Meaning

0    Password lock must be explicitly released

1    Password lock applies for a maximum of 24 hours (automatic unlocking)

This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/failed_user_auto_unlock.
