Description
The FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS value limits the number of failed login attempts allowed before an account is locked. Setting this value limits the ability of unauthorized users to guess passwords and alerts the DBA when password guessing has occurred (accounts display as locked). For non-interactive accounts, the number of failed logins should be set to an IAO-approved value.
