Provisioning Client failed authentication
Administrators configure the failed authentication threshold and lockout duration
parameters as part of the password complexity rules. If authentication fails, the
user receives an "invalid login attempt" message. This error message appears for
all failed authentication attempts due to invalid user ID, invalid password and
lockout conditions.
Configuring failed authentication parameters
1 From the System Management Console Main Menu, select Administration
> User Password Rules.
2 In the Password Complexity Rules dialog box, from the drop-down list, select
the Maximum Number of Failed Authentication Attempts.
3 From the drop-down list, select the Lockout Duration Seconds.
4 Place a check in the Enable Password Complexity Rules check box.
5 Click OK.
For more information about configuring password complexity, see “User
password rules” on page 102.
Message of the day
The System Management Console supports a feature that can display a Message
of the Day window after an administrator logs on. For an example of the window
that appears, see Figure 8 “Message of the day example” on page 106.
