Enrollment Portal |
Pre-condition: The Lockout options policy is set to OFF. While logging into the enrollment portal, the user account is locked out after 10 non-consecutive failed attempts. This is because the system continues to count all the failed attempts cumulatively, even if the user successfully logs in between the failed attempts. |
