Configuring Session Idle Timeout
Note ACS automatically deactivates or disables your account based on your last login, last password
change, or number of login retries. The CLI and PI user accounts are blocked and they receive
a notification that they can change the password through the web interface. If your account is
disabled, contact another administrator to enable your account.
Step 4 Click Submit.
The administrator password is configured with the defined criteria. These criteria will apply only for
future logins.
