Locking and Unlocking Local User Accounts

Locking a user account prevents a local user from logging into the appliance. A user account can be locked in one of the following ways:

• You can configure all local user accounts to lock after users fail to log in successfully after a configured number of attempts. See Setting Passphrase and Login Requirements.
• Administrators can manually lock user accounts. See Locking User Accounts Manually.

AsyncOS displays the reason why the user account was locked when you view the user account on the Edit User page.
