Setting a Limit on Log-In Attempts

This profile option determines the maximum number of logins a user can attempt before the user's account is disabled.

To reinstate the account a system administrator must unlock the account and reset the password. For example, if the value is set to 3, it locks the account if the user enters incorrect password three times.

To set a limit on login attempts, do the following:

1. Log in. See How to Log In to Oracle Applications Profile Forms.
2. In the Profile field, enter Signon Password Failure Limit
3. Click Find.
4. In the Site column, enter the limit you choose; for example: 3
5. In the File menu, select Save and Proceed. The system displays a message that the transaction is complete.
6. Click OK. The transaction message pop-up disappears.
7. Click the X in the upper right corner of the System Profile Values window to close the window.
