Changing settings for automatic account locking

You can automatically lock user accounts to prevent unauthorized access. To enable automatic account
locking you must specify the number of unsuccessful login attempts after which an account should to
be locked. The built-in account (user ID:

System

) can never be locked even when this function is

used.

TIP:

If Replication Manager is in a cluster environment, the function must be set for each management
server. For details on how to set the automatic account locking function on a management server, see
the

HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.

For a user account that logs in by linking to an external authorization server, the settings on the
external authentication server are used for automatic locking control.
