Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Looking for suggestions...
We got the following request from our HR technical team. Has anyone
done anything similar or have any reccomendations?
REQUEST:
"As part of the security review of the Self Service application, we need
to institute an account lock-out after 5 unsuccessful attempts when
requesting a new password. Additionally, the requirement calls for us
to reset the lock-out after 30 minutes. We can set the lock-out, but we
have no way to reset the lock-out after 30 minutes through the
application, but thought there could be a way to do this at the Oracle
level, like a database agent.
To do this, the agent would need to run against the PSOPRDEFN table, and check the value of LASTUPDDTTM (date/time stamp). If 30 minutes have elapsed and the value of ACCTLOCK = 1, then reset the ACCTLOCK to 0."
Thanks.
