User Lockout - Alcatel-Lucent 7450 System Management Manual

User Lockout

User Lockout
When a user exceeds the maximum number of attempts allowed (the default is 3 attempts)
during a certain period of time (the default is 5 minutes) the account used during those
attempts will be locked out for a pre-configured lock-out period (the default is 10 minutes).
An security event log will be generated as soon as a user account has exceeded the number of
allowed attempts and the show>system>security>user command can be used to display the
total number of failed attempts per user.
The account will be automatically re-enabled as soon as the lock-out period has expired. The
list of users who are currently locked-out can be displayed with show system security user
lockout.
A lock-out for a specific user can be administratively cleared using the admin user x clear-
lockout.
