Account Status

The Account Status field will only display when the Failed Login Attempts Before Lockout (0 = Unlimited)  (unanet.login_attempts_before_locked) property is enabled. This property is used to activate a feature that will prevent a user from logging in after X number of failed login attempts.  Supplying a value greater than zero will enable this feature.

When the feature is activated, the Account Status field will be displayed on the password tab (its values are LOCKED or UNLOCKED).  When a user has supplied an invalid password more than X times, their account will become LOCKED, and a checkbox will appear to facilitate unlocking the user's account.  

A count of invalid login attempts will also be displayed.  Whenever a user successfully logs in, the count of invalid login attempts will be reset to 0.

User's that have been locked out of Unanet will receive a generic message on the login screen indicating the login failed (no additional information is provided for security reasons, i.e., we do not want to provide any feedback as to whether either the supplied id or password is valid).

This feature is intended to be used with the default Unanet login functionality (i.e., this should not be enabled if your site is configured for single sign-on).
