You can place limitations on the number of login attempts users are allowed, on the number of days a user account may remain inactive before becoming disabled from the server, and on the number of days users are allowed to have the same passwords. Only system administrators (users with Administrator permission) can access these settings. The limitations apply to all users on the server and are effective upon clicking OK.
If you later change the number of unsuccessful login attempts allowed, Essbase resets the count for all users. For example, if the setting was 15 and you changed it to 20, users are allowed 20 new attempts. If you changed the setting to 2, a user who had exceeded that number when the setting was 15 is not locked out. The count returns to 0 for each change in settings. |
