Step 4 Click Yes at the following prompt:
This operation will log out the selected Cisco MGM user. It will take approximately
a minute and this Cisco MGM client will be unusable until then. Do you wish to continue?
Wait while the Cisco MGM server logs out the selected Cisco MGM client. The Cisco MGM GUI is
frozen for approximately 1 minute until the request is complete.
8.3.4.8 Using the Cisco MGM Locked Window
You can use the Cisco MGM Locked window to lock the current Cisco MGM session:
From the Domain Explorer window, choose:
File > Lock Cisco MGM Client
or
File > Lock Cisco MGM Users
Once the session is locked, the Domain Explorer disappears, and the Cisco MGM Locked window
prompts you to enter your password to unlock the Cisco MGM session. You can attempt login up to the
configured maximum login attempts to unlock the session. If the threshold is exceeded, Cisco MGM will
terminate. Table 8-13 describes the field in the Cisco MGM Locked window.
8.3.4.9 Unlocking a User Account
By default, Cisco MGM allows users a maximum of five login attempts; the user account is locked after
the fifth unsuccessful login attempt. The lockout duration is configurable and can be from 0 to 600
seconds or infinite.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Cisco MGM Users.
Step 2 In the Cisco MGM Users table, select the locked user.
Step 3 Choose Edit > Unlock (or click the Unlock User tool).
