Security Lockout After Failed Logon Attempts

Issue: For security reasons, you want to lock out users who have unsuccessfully attempted several times to log on to EPM Workspace.

Solution: In an external directory (for example, Microsoft Active Directory or an LDAP-enabled user directory such as Oracle Internet Directory), define password policies to specify how many logon attempts to allow before locking out users. EPM System honors all locks controlled by the password policies for the external user directory. Because EPM System security for Release 11.1.2 does not support password policies for Native Directory, you cannot lock out a Native Directory user after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts.
