B10: AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE
The AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE keyword is used to force userids to be frozen
when the number of failed logons without a good logon reaches the value of
AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS.
If present in a UAGroup, the value of this keyword overrides that in the UACONF file.
If the keyword is omitted, the value in the UACONF file is used.
Syntax:
AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE {ON | OFF}
In the Example below, when the number of failed logons for the members of the
ACLGROUP $DEV becomes 4 (that is, equal to 4), then the userid will be frozen.
