Configuring Account Locking Settings
For security purposes, it is important to lock a user account when the user fails to provide the correct password after a specified number of failed login attempts to Integration Server. A locked user account remains locked for a specific period of time, after which the account gets unlocked. Integration Server allows administrators to configure the account locking settings for administrator and non-administrator users. Using Integration Server Administrator, you can set the values for number of attempts by a user before locking the account and also the duration of the lock interval. Integration Server also allows administrators to manually unlock locked user accounts.
