Configure the maximum of failed sign-in attempts
You can automatically lock a user account if the user exceeds a maximum number of failed sign-in attempts. The user account remains locked until the account lockout period passes.
If there is an immediate need to access NetBackup, the administrator can unlock the account.
You can customize the maximum number of NetBackup failed sign-in attempts. The setting you choose applies only to the NetBackup web UI. To configure this setting from the command line, use nbsetconfig to set the GUI_MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS and GUI_ACCOUNT_LOCKOUT_DURATION options.
To configure the maximum of failed sign-in attempts
- Open the web UI.
- On the left, click Security > User sessions.
- At the top right, click User account settings.
- Turn on User account lockout and click Edit.
- Select the number of failed sign-in attempts that you want to allow before an account is locked.
- To unlock a locked account after a period of time, select the number of minutes for Unlock locked accounts after.
- Select Save.
For active users, the updates are applied the next time the user signs in.
