Settings required for managing user accounts
77
the number of unsuccessful attempts is set to 3, and a user fails to log on to Device Manager once,
fails to log on to XP Provisioning Manager once, and then fails to log on to XP Tiered Storage
Manager once, his or her user account will be automatically locked.
If the number of unsuccessful logon attempts is changed, the new number will be applied the next
time an attempt to log on fails. If a user is currently logged on and you attempt to log in 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 on.
You can unlock user accounts from web client. You must have the User Management permission to
unlock a user account. For details about unlocking user accounts, see the HP StorageWorks XP
Command View Advanced Edition software Device Manager Help.
CAUTION:
Settings related to locking can also be specified from web client. However, if the system is in a cluster
configuration, the settings from web client are only applied to the executing node. To apply the settings to
the standby node, switch the nodes, and then specify the same settings. For details on how to use web
client, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition software Device Manager Help.
You can specify settings for automatic locking if XP Command View AE Suite product versions 5.1 or
later are installed.
These settings are applied to all XP Command View AE Suite product versions, so there is a risk of login
failure if versions 5.0 or earlier (which do not support automatic locking) are being used. If login fails
despite a correctly specified user ID and password, take appropriate action, such as unlocking the
relevant user account and registering a new user account.
If an external authentication server is used to authenticate users, the settings on the external
authentication server are used to control automatic locking.
3-2-2 Settings for automatic locking of the System account
The System account is not subject to automatic or manual locking during the initial installation of
Device Manager. If you want to also make the System account subject to locking, specify this
setting in the account.lock.system property in the user.conf file, which is stored in the
following locations:
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-Common-Component\conf\user.conf
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/conf/user.conf
If the user.conf file does not exist, create it.
Specify the account.lock.system property in the following format:
account.lock.system=value
For value, specify true or false. If you specify true, the System account is subject to
automatic and manual locking. If you specify false, the System account is not subject to automatic
or manual locking.
Note that you need to restart Common Component for the value set in the user.conf file to take
effect. For details about how to restart Common Component, see sections
8-6 and 8-5 .
CAUTION:
If XP Command View AE Suite product versions 6.1 or later are installed and true is set in the
user.conf file, the System account is subject to automatic and manual locking for all XP Command
View AE Suite products.
For what to do when all accounts with Admin (user management) permission (including the System
account) are locked, see section
10-1 .
