Adil

Hi,
Such issue mostly happens due to wrong attempt of login in SAP system client with that SAP User id either through RFC login, external- program, script,etc...
If you have checked all the RFCs login settings and not able to found the login attempt, then Enable [SAP Security audit log|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/c7/69bcb7f36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm] using SM19, SM20 and analyze the logs for that SAP User id only.

SAPJSF user is getting locked

Hi,
We are using SAP BI 7.0 system on AIX and DB2 combination. I am getting one problem for the past 1 month. our BI consultant is running queries from BI Portal. while running queries from BI Portal, they are getting one error saying that " java i-view runtime error, if this error persists please contact your system administrator". while they are getting this error, I have observed that user SAPJSF is locked due to incorrect logons from ABAP level. once I unlock the user and refresh the BI portal page we are getting in and able to continue with our work.
This problem is repeating for every 3 weeks or 15 days ( but not for the constant time period). for the time being we are unlocking the user and continuing with work. but I want to know why this user is getting locked. it is only happening in DEV system but not in the remaining systems.we have run the support desk tool in BI DEV system and we made sure that we are not encountering any configuration problems.
roles attached to this uder is:

please help me in this to solve this problem permanantely.

NWDI_ADM user keep getting lock

Hi,
We are having an issue with the NWDI, the user NWDI_ADM keeps getting lock and i am not sure what is locking the user. I also receive this message when trying to access the activity in the CBS.

Hi Jean,
You can check NWDI_ADM user in your NWDI System & SLD System. To check where user is getting locked you can go to Visual Admin --> Server Node --> Security Provider --> User Management:
Search for NWDI_ADM user and see when it was last locked. Perforn this on both NWDI & SLD system.
To resolve this issue.
1. Make sure you have same password defined in NWDI & SLD system OR
2. Run configuration wizzard in NWDI System which will prompt you to enter password for NWDI_ADM user. TO do that please go to
http://NWDIserver:<portnumber>:nwa --> Deploy and Change. From there run configuration wizard for CBS; CMS & DTR. and before doing this make sure you have correct password for NWDI_ADM user in SLD & NWDI System.
What I generally do is keep same passowrd in NWDI & SLD system. Thats my way of doing thing and keeping less complications.

User is getting locked due to incorrect password every few minutes SAPJSF

I have gone through solution manager configuration both as myself and as user solman_admin. Recently the Solution manager system was changed to enforce a more complex password scheme. After changing my password, my account is now getting locked every few minutes due to incorrect logon attempts. The System log states that user SAPJSF from Terminal <solution Manager host name> is attempting to login with my userID and is locking it. so far I have made every change I know to make to all the accounts on the JAVA side and to any and all background jobs that are running to remove my userID from these entries. My account still gets locked and I have no idea where to find what task or process is locking the account.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have checked the audit log and it is not very helpful. Here are the results

Have a look at your listener log.
Perhaps someone is trying to login with a wrong password.
Have a look at this link:

and at
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS.

User Account getting locked frequently...

An User account which the developers are using is getting locked very frequently when they run some applications. They say they are giving the right password and username within the application. What should one be looking for? I am fed up by unlocking the account using ALTER USER username ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

I have also faced such kind of problems. Most of the developers forget how the application connects. they might have hard coded it or some time using a wrong parameter files.
Need to check who are all the users and how they are connecting and how the application is connecting to the database.
If there are more users then enable audit. Auditing will be the only solution.

With Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 User accounts gets locked at first instance of wrong credentials even if configured for 3 attempts

Hello Everybody,
I am working with Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 and it is integrated with Active Directory at a Windows 2008 R2 functional level, user accounts that are set with lockout parameters (3 incorrect attempts) are locked out prematurely after the user enters the wrong credentials just once, the integration is done via LDAP.
I wonder if anybody has any idea why this is happening, because when I connect to a Cisco device or VPN, and type my password wrongly, on the Active Directory I get extra bad password counts.
Thanks in advance and regards....

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your answer. However we checked the ACS logs and it shows that we entered bad credentials just once, but in the Active Directory our account sometimes is blocked because we get at least 2 and sometimes 3 failures. This problem is only presented when we authenticate Cisco devices or through VPN, in normal circumstances, when users enter bad credentials on their computers, it works fine.
Thanks and regards...

Is it a configuration transaction code or easy access transaction code.

Oracle user account is getting locked frequently

Hi everyone!!!
I am using Oracle 11g on Linux . I have user named "XXX" to whom I have assigned a DEFAULT profile. The Password parameters in DEFAULT profile are as follow.
Resource Name                                      Resource                                 Limit
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS                    PASSWORD                            20
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME                        PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME                      PASSWORD                           UNLIMITED
PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME                   PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX                   PASSWORD                             UNLIMITED
I don't know why my user is getting locked continuously. Even i haven't reached Failed_login_attempts (20). Each time I require to unlock user account as SYS user and then I can connect as XXX user.
And another thing that I want to know is when user account's status is set to LOCKED, EXPIRED, EXPIRED & LOCKED and LOCKED(TIME).
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
can you tell me the exact db version?
As explained in MOS notes:
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS shows LOCKED after FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS Is Breached (Doc ID 284344.1)
How to Interpret the ACCOUNT_STATUS Column in DBA_USERS (Doc ID 260111.1)
Expected behaviour is:
1. Oracle release is <= 11.1.0.7.
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
2. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = unlimited:
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
3. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = <some fix value>
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
Note
that 10.2.0.5 displays the same behavior as 11.2, because the fix that changed the behavior in 11.2 was introduced in 10.2.0.5.
So I suggest you to follow MOS note
Finding the source of failed login attempts. (Doc ID 352389.1)
to find who locked the account.

APPS USER GETTING LOCK

After changing password of APPS user, while accessing application, 'APPS' user is getting lock. Checked that 'password' of 'APPS_TO_APPS' and 'EDW_APPS_TO_WH' did not changed.
Ran Autoconfig -still account is getting lock.

Pl see if that APPS database account has a profile set. I believe ATG RUP4 add a profile to the APPS database account and after x number of unsuccessful logins, it locks the account, making the instance unusable. See ML Note 556761.1 that describes a related issue. If a profile is indeed set for the APPS account, pl remove it.

User getting Locked after 1 day

Hi All,
I am facing an issue...a particular user in our SAP ECC 5.0 system is getting locked after every one day, I checked the configuration in SU01 but everything seems to be fine there.
Please help regarding this issue.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Prashant.

Dear Prashant,
Have you activated user trace.If yes then monitor that user ID.It wont be possible that only 1 particular user is getting locked (correct me if I am wrong).There can be a possibility that somebody is deliberately entering wrong password for his ID any other terminal.
If you have activated user trace then you can easily monitor that user ID and even the terminals from where his ID has been accessed.
PS: I might be wrong,so please update me with the latest.

But i want to display to the user that his account is locked instead of the exception being thrown . How can i do it ? the following the login code i use
    public String doLogin() {
