About Authentication Controls
Administrators can configure authentication controls for an entire instance or for each individual workspace.
For example, if an instance administrator configures authentication controls in Oracle APEX Administration Services, that configuration applies to all APEX accounts in all workspaces across an entire development instance.
If the instance administrator does not enable authentication controls across an entire instance, then each Workspace administrator can enable the following controls on a workspace-by-workspace basis:
-
User account expiration and locking
-
A maximum number of failed login attempts for user accounts
-
Account password lifetime (or number of days an end-user account password can be used before it expires for end-user accounts)
Tip: This feature applies only to accounts created using APEX user creation and management. It provides additional authentication security for applications. See Managing Users in a Workspace.
