| | | <para>Account lockout disables a user account after a specified |
| | | number of successive bind failures. When you implement account |
| | | number of successive authentication failures. When you implement account |
| | | lockout, you can opt to have the directory server unlock the account |
| | | again after a specified interval, or you can leave the account locked |
| | | until the password is reset.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>The catch is that if an attacker has separate access to each |
| | | directory server replica in a topology, the attacker can try passwords |
| | | until lockout on each server separately, or until replication manages |
| | | to lock the accounts. In the worst case, therefore, the attacker gets |
| | | N x R tries, where N is the number of bind failures allowed on a directory |
| | | server, and R is the number of directory server replicas in the |
| | | topology.</para> |

| | | <note> |
| | | <para>When you configure account lockout as part of password policy, OpenDJ |
| | | locks an account after the specified number of consecutive authentication |
| | | failures. Account lockout is not transactional across a replication topology, |
| | | however. Under normal circumstances, replication nevertheless propagates |
| | | lockout quickly. If ever replication is delayed, an attacker with direct |
| | | access to multiple replica could get more than the specified number of tries |
| | | to authenticate before being locked out on all replicas.</para> |

| | | <title>Configuring Account Lockout</title> |
| | | |
| | | <para>Account lockout is configured as part of password policy. This section |
| | | demonstrates configuring account lockout as part of the default password |
| | | policy. Users are allowed three consecutive failures before being locked out |
| | | for five minutes. Failures themselves also expire after five minutes.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>Change the default password policy to activate lockout using the |
| | | <command>dsconfig</command> command. As the password policy is part of |
| | | the server configuration, you must manually apply the changes to each |
| | | replica in a replication topology.</para> |
