Changes to user session default values

With NetBackup 8.3.0.1, the default values for two user session parameters have changed to increase security.

The default number of failed sign-in attempts allowed is 5. Previously, this value was 0.

In the NetBackup web UI, go to User sessions > User account settings > Number of failed sign-in attempts allowed.
In the NetBackup Administration Console, go to NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers > server > User Account Settings > Account lockout > Number of failed log-in attempts allowed
With the CLI, use the GUI_MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS parameter with commands. For example, bpgetconfig -X GUI_MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS.

The default value for the account lockout duration is 15 minutes. Previously, this value was 1440 minutes (24 hours). (The user account is automatically unlocked after the lockout duration.)

In the NetBackup web UI, go to User sessions > User account settings > Unlock locked accounts.
In the NetBackup Administration Console, go to NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers > server > User Account Settings > Account lockout duration
With the CLI, use the GUI_ACCOUNT_LOCKOUT_DURATION parameter with commands. For example, bpgetconfig -X GUI_ACCOUNT_LOCKOUT_DURATION.

By default, these user session settings are enabled. You can disable these settings with the NetBackup web UI, the NetBackup Administration Console, or the bpsetconfig command.
