Lockout Threshold

The first step in setting up Account Lockout Rules is to define your Account Lockout Threshold. The Lockout Threshold is the number of incorrect password attempts that causes the account to be locked out. Setting the Lockout Threshold to Never results in accounts never being locked out, even after multiple failed login attempts. The default number of failed login attempts that triggers an account lockout is four failed login attempts.

Use the Lockout Threshold pull-down list to set the Lockout Threshold by selecting the number of failed login attempts that cause the system to lock out an account.

After setting your Lockout Threshold, proceed to defining your other account lockout rules.
