What is Oracle's account locking feature?
Rating:
Oracle's account locking feature ensures that a user's account is automatically locked if the user exceeds a specified number of failed login attempts. The FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS parameter is used to specify the number of failed login attempts after which a user account is locked. The PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME parameter specifies the number of days for which the user account remains locked. If the PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME is specified as UNLIMITED, the user account must be explicitly unlocked using the ALTER USER statement.
