complexity level.
Lockout on Failed Logon
Enable lockout check box When checked, specifies that enable lockout rules apply to
users.
Lockout counter digits Specifies the number of times the user can attempt to enter an
invalid password before the user is locked out. Default: 25; for
increased security, set this number to 5.
Refer to “View by Accounts” on page 114 (Locked Out box) and

minutes Specifies the number of minutes after a lockout before the
lockout counter is automatically reset to zero. Default: 30
Example: If the lockout counter reset is set at 30 minutes and a
user enters invalid passwords, but does not reach the lockout
counter threshold, then waits 30 minutes before trying again,
the lockout counter resets and begins counting from 1 again.
If the user enters invalid passwords until the lockout counter
threshold is reached, the Lockout duration determines when the
user can sign back onto the system.
