Account Lockout

Account Lockout

To improve security in the Informatica domain, an administrator can enforce lockout of domain user accounts, including other administrator users, after multiple failed logins.
The administrator can specify the number of failed login attempts a user can make before the user account is locked. If an account is locked out, the administrator can unlock the account in the Informatica domain.
When the administrator unlocks a user account, the administrator can select the "Unlock user and reset password" option to reset the user password. The administrator can send an email to the user to request that the user change the password before logging back into the domain. To enable the domain to send emails to users when their passwords are reset, configure the email server settings for the domain.
If the user is locked out of the Informatica domain and the LDAP server, the Informatica administrator can unlock the user account in the Informatica domain. The user cannot log in to the Informatica domain until the LDAP administrator also unlocks the user account in the LDAP server.
If the Informatica domain uses Kerberos network authentication, you cannot configure lockout for user accounts. The
Account Management
view is not available in the
Security
tab of the Administrator tool.
