   6. For User Lockout, enter the number of minutes the user will be unable to log into the system after three successive authentication failures.
   7. For Password Reset, enter the number of days after which a user’s current password for logging in to the system will automatically expire. If left blank, the user's password will never expire.

          Note: If more than one authentication profile is associated with a user, then the servers will be contacted one-by-one until a connection to one of them is successful. Once a server has been contacted, if the authentication fails, the process ends, and the user is notified that the authentication failed.
