Locking and unlocking user accounts for serial console switches
If the serial console switch is configured for Local Authentication and a user enters an invalid password
five consecutive times, the Security Lock-out feature temporarily disables that account. If a user attempts to
log in again, an error message appears from the software client application. All local accounts, except
the Override Admin account are subject to this lock-out policy.
An administrator can specify the number of hours (1 to 99) that accounts are locked. When Enable Lock-
outs is not selected, the Security Lock-out feature is disabled, and no users can be locked out.
If an account becomes locked, it remains locked until the number of hours specified in the Duration field
have elapsed, the console switch is power cycled, or an administrator unlocks the local account using the
Unlock function on this panel.
NOTE: If your account is locked and you have LDAP Authentication and Access Control enabled, your
account must be unlocked through the Active Directory. Contact your active directory administrator for
further details.
