Indicates the amount of time in seconds after which the password failure counter resets. Each time an
invalid password is sent from the user's account, the password failure counter is incremented. If the
passwordLockout attribute is set to on, users are locked out of the directory when the counter reaches
the number of failures specified by the passwordMaxFailure attribute (within 600 seconds by default).
After the amount of time specified by the passwordLockoutDuration attribute, the failure counter is
reset to zero (0).
This can be abbreviated to pwdFailureCountInterval.
