Hitachi Global Link Manager Software Installation and Configuration Guide

How users are affected when the number of unsuccessful login attempts
is changed
If you change the value for the number of unsuccessful login
attempts, the new value does not apply to users who have already
failed to log in more times than the new value for the number of
unsuccessful login attempts or to users with a locked user account.
Security Settings Using the user.conf File
The built-in account (user ID: System) is not automatically or manually
locked by default. To enable automatic or manual lock settings for the built-in
account, specify the account.lock.system parameter in the user.conf file.
The user.conf file is stored in the following location:
installation-folder-for-Hitachi-Command-Suite-Common-Component\conf
\user.conf
If there is no user.conf file, create it.
Specify the account.lock.system property as follows:
account.lock.system = value
You can specify either true or false. To enable locking of the built-in
account, specify true; to disable locking of the built-in account, specify
false. The default is false.
When true is specified and the login failure count for the built-in account
reaches the value of the account.lock.num property specified in the
security.conf file, the built-in account is locked automatically.
The following example enables locking of the built-in account:
account.lock.system = true
Perform the following procedures after you change the settings in the
user.conf file:
• Restart Global Link Manager. Before restarting, stop the services that are
running. For details about starting and stopping the service, see
Starting
and Stopping Global Link Manager on page 3-3.
• If you are operating the management server in a cluster environment,
settings specified in the user.conf files on both executing and standby
nodes must be the same. If you change the settings in the user.conf file
on the executing node, you must specify the same settings in the
user.conf file on the standby node.
