Field Description
Lock Account on
Unsuccessful Login
If the Lock Account on Unsuccessful Login check box is checked, a user
account is locked after the number of Unsuccessful Login Attempt Count has
been reached within the Unsuccessful Login Attempt Period.
For example, if the Unsuccessful Login Attempt Count is set to 3, the
Unsuccessful Login Attempt Period is set to 1 day, and Lock Account on
Unsuccessful Login is checked; then after 3 unsuccessful attempts within 1 day,
the user account is locked.
Unsuccessful Login
Attempt Count
Number of login attempts to allow the user before the account is locked. If the
account is locked, the master-level user can unlock the account by unchecking the
User Account Locked check box on the Edit Users page.
Unsuccessful Login
Attempt Period
Time interval for which the number of unsuccessful login attempt count is
persisted. When the time interval lapses, and if the account is not locked, the
Unsuccessful Login Attempt Count is reset to 0.
Enable Password
History
The history of user passwords is stored in the database if the Enable Password
History check box is checked.
During a password change, if the Enable Password History check box is
checked, the new password is compared with the history of the user’s passwords,
and the password change is only successful if the new password is different than
the passwords that were previously used.
Password History

default is 2.

the Password Expiration Interval, then the user account is automatically
disabled.
