    7. Select the Inactivity Lockout if you wish to enable lockout after a period of inactivity.
    8. 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.
