User Profiles window - Lockout tab

In most cases, users are authenticated as Kofax Capture linked users. But in some situations, non-linked users may also have access to the modules. To comply with security requirements, you can configure the account lockout threshold (invalid login attempts) and lockout duration for such users.

Use this tab to enable account lockout and configure its behavior. As an administrator, you can configure the number of failed logon attempts before the account is blocked and the account lockout duration. Also, use this tab to manually unlock blocked accounts.

Enable account lockout

Select this check box to enable the Account lockout feature for your entire Kofax Capture installation. You must select the check box to access the other settings on this window.

Account Lockout Policy

Configure the following settings:

  • Account lockout threshold (invalid logon attempts): The default value is 3.

  • Account lockout duration (in minutes): The default value is 30.

Note If you clear the Enable account lockout check box, the following message appears: Do you want to disable the account lockout feature? Click Yes to disable lockout and allow all locked users to log in to the system without any restrictions. Click No to clear the message.

Locked Users

The Locked Users panel contains a list of users that are locked at the central or remote sites. The users must wait for the configured lockout duration period to get unlocked automatically, or you can manually unlock selected users.

To unlock a selected account, click Unlock.

Note If the user is locked at a remote site, it may take some time to wait until the next Remote Synchronization Agent (RSA) updates the lockout information at the central site.
