5.4.2 Locking and unlocking user accounts
When the security lock-out feature is enabled, and a user enters an invalid password
five consecutive times, that user account is disabled for a specified number of hours, or
until it is unlocked or the appliance is rebooted. If a locked-out user tries to log in during
the lock-out period, an error message is displayed. A closed-lock icon is visible next to
the names of locked-out users on the AMP Users category. Security lock-out, when
enabled, applies to all local user accounts on the appliance, but not to LDAP users.
An appliance administrator can specify the lock-out period. A user administrator can
unlock only user accounts; an appliance administrator can unlock any type of account.
When the security lock-out feature is disabled, no users are locked-out. Disabling
security lock-out has no effect on users who are already locked-out.
