Lockout Duration

The Lockout Duration is the period of time (in hours) that the account is locked out after meeting the lockout threshold. The default lockout duration is 24 hours or until the account is unlocked manually.

Use the Lockout Duration pull-down list to set the lockout duration by selecting the number of hours (1 to 24) to lockout the account.

You can also set the account-lockout duration based on the task of manually unlocking the account rather than unlocking the account after a time period has elapsed: Do this by clicking the Until Manually Unlocked radio button. (Please refer to Account Lockout Rules: Unlocking Accounts for more information.)
