Locking a User

Scenario

A user may be suspended for a long period of time due to service changes. For security purposes, you can lock such a user.

You can lock a user in using either of the following methods:

  • Automatic locking: You can set Password Retries in the password policy to automatically lock the user whose login attempts exceed this parameter value. For details, see Configuring Password Policies.
  • Manual locking: You manually lock a user.

This section describes how to lock a user manually. Machine-machine users cannot be locked.

Impact on the System

A locked user cannot log in to FusionInsight Manager or perform identity authentication in the cluster. A locked user can be used only after being manually unlocked or the lock time expires.

Procedure

  1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager.
  2. Choose System > Permission > User.
  3. Locate the row that contains the target user and click Lock in the Operation column.
  4. In the window that is displayed, select I have read the information and understand the impact. Click OK.
