Security Realm-->UserLockout

Tasks     Related Topics     Attributes

Overview

Password guessing is a common type of security attack. In this type of attack, a hacker attempts to log in to a computer using various combinations of usernames and passwords. WebLogic Server provides a set of attributes to protect passwords and user accounts in a security realm. Use this tab to set the attributes.

If a user lockout security event occurs on one node of a cluster, the other nodes in the cluster are notified of the event and the user account is locked on all nodes in the cluster. This features prevents a hacker from systematically breaking into all the nodes in a cluster.
