Account Lockout

The application developer can set an account lockout threshold, which prevents a user from accessing the account after he enters the incorrect user name or password beyond the number of acceptable times.

When a user logs in or enters an electronic signature at run time, he receives an error if the account has been disabled. The application developer can configure the message to display with the error, such as a telephone number or the name of a contact person; otherwise, a general message displays.

Refer to the Configuring the Account Disabled Message in iFIX and Limiting the Number of Invalid Login Attempts sections in the Configuring Security Features manual for information on setting the account lockout threshold and configuring the account disabled message.
