You can configure an account lockout policy to determine the duration a user account must be locked due to invalid login attempts or account inactivity. A strong account lockout policy helps protect your Usage Metering Collector user accounts from password-guessing attacks.
Any changes to the account lockout policy are applied to a user account when the user logs on to the Usage Metering Collector for the first time after the policy is changed.
Before you begin
Back up the um.properties file before performing this procedure. If the um.properties file is corrupted, you can replace the corrupted file with the backup file.
  1. At the Usage Metering Collector server CLI command prompt, run the following command to edit the um.properties file:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    vi /opt/Avaya/usage-metering/um.properties
  2. Set the values for the account lockout policy parameters as required in the um.properties file in the following format:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    <name of account lockout policy parameter>=<value>
    For information about the account lockout policy parameters and their associated values, see Account lockout policy parameters.
To unlock a user account that is locked due to consecutive failed login attempts after 60 minutes, set the unlock.timeout.minutes parameter in the um.properties file in the following format:
unlock.timeout.minutes=60
