  1. Log on to the Usage Metering Collector interface by using a web browser.
  2. On the Home page, click , and then click CONFIGURATION.
  3. In the left navigation pane, click GENERAL.
  4. In the Idle session timeout (minutes) field, type the duration (in minutes) for which a user can remain inactive in Usage Metering.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    After the number of minutes of inactivity is reached, Usage Metering automatically logs out the user.
  5. In the Account lockout threshold (failed login attempts) field, type the maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts due to invalid credentials to be permitted to a user.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    After the maximum number of failed login attempts is reached, Usage Metering locks the user account.
    Set the value to 0 if you do not want to lock the user accounts because of consecutive failed login attempts.
    To set the number of minutes after which a locked user account must be automatically unlocked, use the unlock.timeout.minutes account lockout policy parameter.
  6. In the Delay after 3 failed login attempts (seconds) field, type the number of seconds for which the last login attempt, of the total login attempts configured in the failed.logins.to.delay account lockout policy parameter, must be processed.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Use the Delay after 3 failed login attempts (seconds) option along with the failed.logins.to.delay parameter to delay the last login attempt of a user if the previous login attempts fail consecutively because of invalid credentials.
    If a user provides valid credentials during the last login attempt, the delay is not applied to the login attempt.
