If an incorrect login password is entered several times, the user lockout function prevents
further login attempts under the same login user name (Lockout). The locked-out state can
be automatically released in a specified period of time. It can be manually released by the
administrator as well.
The number of times that the locked-out state is automatically released can be limited to
a maximum of four times. For each of the 1st to 4th lockout actions, you can specify
whether to activate/deactivate the user lockout function, the number of login attempts
before lockout, and the period of time before the locked-out state is automatically
released.
You can also specify whether to release the locked-out state by restarting the machine.
Specifying User Lockout
By default, an incorrect login password entry is permitted up to five times and the
locked-out state is not released automatically.
In the event that a user enters an incorrect login password, and the machine
administrator changes the number of attempts before lockout afterwards, the state of
the user concerning lockout may vary in accordance with the number of attempts before
lockout that is changed by the administrator. Some examples are as follows:
Number of incorrect login
password entries by user
3 entries
3 entries
3 entries
*1 After 3 entries of an incorrect login password, two more incorrect entries are permitted, and when
an incorrect entry is performed for a third time, the user is locked out.
Auto Logout Timer
Change to the number of
attempts before lockout
Twice -> 4 times
4 times -> Twice
4 times -> 6 times
State of user
The locked-out state of the
user is released.
The user is locked out.
Remains unchanged (The user
