When you enable user locking and exceed the allowed number of unsuccessful attempts, ActiveVOS locks the account to prevent unauthorized access. To regain access to a locked account, an administrator or a user with an abAdmin role can choose to unlock.

For each unsuccessful login attempt, ActiveVOS displays an appropriate error message in the UI.

You can configure properties related to Account lockout on the

ADMIN

tab under the

User Login Profile

section of the ActiveVOS Administration Console. To configure the Account Lockout settings, ensure you have an abAdmin role or administrator privileges.

The following table lists the Account Lockout configuration properties:

Property	Description
Enable User Lock	Choose to enable the account lockout to prevent unauthorized access. If you enable, you can lock user accounts after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts as defined in the Maximum Failed Logins setting. If you disable, user accounts won't be automatically locked regardless of the number of unsuccessful login attempts. Default is true.
Maximum Failed Logins	Required if you enable user lock. Administrator to specify the maximum number of unsuccessful login attempts allowed before locking a user account. Default is 5. For example, if the Maximum Failed Logins value is set to 5, a user who enters the wrong password five times in a row would have their account locked.
Unlock User	Administrators or users with the necessary abAdmin role privileges can unlock the user account. This security feature allows the user to attempt to log in again with the correct credentials.
