Account Lockouts

When enabled, VSys can lock itself with too many failed login attempts or when it's logged in but unattended.

Enable user ID lockout...

If enabled, and the user has attempted this number of consecutive failures during the specified time period, VSys will lock out their account for the given number of days, hours, and minutes. This lock can be removed by right-clicking on their name in the Security Manager and resetting the lockout.

Any successful login clears this failure count, although each and every failed attempt remains logged in this user's history.

Lock workstation after inactivity

A user who goes this period of time without activity in VSys itself will be locked out and required to re-authenticate. A failure to do so clears the machine for access only in order to shut down VSys.
