To access the Lockout options in the Settings section:
Open the Security Manager card in Configuration Manager.
Click Settings on the menu.
Click Logout Options.
The lockout options are loaded with two sections: Lockout policy and Lockout settings.
Two options, Save and Discard, are disabled until the contents of the fields are modified. The Save option commits the changes made, while the Discard option restores the original values in the modified fields. The Discard option disables the Save and Discard options.
In addition, if the form fields in a details blade remain unchanged it is possible to work with the "parent" grid. Once modifications are made in the details blade the grid becomes "disabled" and grid interactions are no longer possible until the changes are saved or the details blade is closed.
Navigating to another tab in the blade without explicitly saving any changes made in the previous tab will cause the changes to be lost. Clicking on the X button in the blade header closes the User details blade, with any changes which were not saved being lost.
When the user lockout is disabled the remaining lockout settings are disregarded. Users can enter their credentials incorrectly an unlimited number of times and the account will not be locked.
To disable the user lockout:
Check the Disable user lockout check box.
The Lockout settings section is disabled and the fields can not be edited. The Save and Discard options become enabled.
Click on the Save option.
A success notification is displayed.
To enable the user lockout:
Remove the check from the Disable user lockout check box.
The Lockout settings section is enabled and the fields can be edited. The Save and Discard options become enabled.
Click on the Save option.
A success notification is displayed.
The following lockout settings can be configured when user lockout is enabled.
Enter a number in the Maximum failed attempts field to count the number of wrong passwords provided before the user account gets locked.
A value of 1 in this field would result in the user account being locked immediately when the user provides the wrong password.
Click on the Save option.
A success notification is displayed.
Select one of the following options:
Select the Lockout never ends radio button to ensure that locked user accounts can only be unlocked by an administrator from the user's grid context option or from the user details blade. When this option is selected the minutes selector field in the Lockout settings section is disabled.
Select the Lockout ends in (minutes) radio button to set the duration of the lockout period after which the account becomes automatically unlocked. Administrators can unlock the account manually. When this option is selected the minutes field in the Lockout settings section is enabled and the desired lockout duration in minutes can be selected.
Click on the Save option.
A success notification is displayed.
