Scenario

• An account can be used to log in to CBH from different browsers on the same PC.
• A user account cannot be used to log in to a CBH system from different device at the same time. If it does, the source IP address will be locked out.

2. Choose System > Sysconfig > Security and view the current configuration in the UserLock Config area.
