Symptoms

-- Problem Statement:
User is getting locked out for 30 minutes if entering wrong password more than 5 times while trying to login to the MSS application.

-- Steps To Reproduce:

<Notice> <Security> <BEA-090078> <User xxxxxxx in security realm myrealm has
had 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30 minutes.>

 

Cause

The issue is caused by the Weblogic Server Security setup:

which locks a particular user account for 30 minutes, if more than 5 attempts are made to login
with wrong password.

3)- In the right hand pane select User Lockout tab => Uncheck Lockout Enabled option.
