About Account Locking

A user's account can become locked when:

• The number of failed attempts at logging in to the account has exceeded the limit specified in the Password Policy settings.
• A user has failed to change their password within the time limit imposed by the Password Policy, and the grace period has run out.
• An administrator with Password Policy permissions has manually locked the account.

Proliance Password Policy settings include options for user account locking, including maximum number of failed login attempts before a user's account is locked, and optionally, the duration of the lockout period.

For more information see "Configure Account Lockout Policy Settings".

Manually locking and unlocking accounts

If your security role has permission to read and update accounts, you can manually lock and unlock user accounts other than your own. For more information, see "Locking a User Account" or "Unlocking a User Account".
