By default, the built-in account (user ID:

System

) cannot be locked. To enable locking of this built-

in account, edit the

user.conf

file on the management server. For details about the

user.conf

file, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.

In P9000 Command View AE Suite products, you cannot change the lock status of a user that logs
in by linking to an external authorization server because such an account has not been registered
in the P9000 Command View AE Suite products.

If the account of a logged in user is locked, an error occurs in the graphical user interface, pre-
venting the user from continuing operation.

If a user with Admin (user management) permissions (including the

System

(user ID) built-in account)

attempts to manually lock all other user accounts with Admin (user management) permissions, the
last such unlocked account will not lock.

You can also specify automatic account locking, which locks the accounts of users who repeatedly
fail to log in. For information on setting automatic account locking, see “

Changing settings for automatic

account locking

” on page 349.

To lock user accounts:

1.

From the Explorer menu, choose Administration and then Users and Permissions.

The Users and Permissions subwindow appears.

2.

Expand the object tree, and then select Users.

The Users subwindow appears.

3.

Select the check boxes of the users whose accounts you want to lock, and then click Lock Users.

The Lock Users dialog box appears.

4.

Confirm your selections, and then lock the accounts.

The information in the display is updated.

Unlocking user accounts

Users whose accounts have been locked manually on a temporary basis or locked automatically
cannot log in until their accounts are unlocked by a user with the Admin (user management) permission.

The Status column of the list of users indicates whether a user account is locked. If all user accounts
are locked and no users can log in, execute the

hcmdsunlockaccount

command on the management

server to unlock accounts. For details about the

hcmdsunlockaccount

command, see the HP P9000
