CAUTION:
• If you change the number of consecutive failed login attempts, the new value takes effect from the
first failed login after the change. If a user is currently logged in and you attempt to login using
his or her account, but you fail the specified number of times, his or her user account will be
locked. However, the user can continue to perform operations while still logged in.
• You can also set an account locking policy from the GUI. However, if the system is in a cluster
configuration, the settings from the GUI are applied only to the executing node. To apply the settings
to the standby node, switch the nodes, and then specify the same settings.
