how to increase the incorrect password attempts for dx user or how to temporaly disable this funcionality?

[Stefan Pivoda]

hi, 
the user password is locked after 5 incorrect logins by default in DX APM.
is it please possible to increase this number (if so, in which file/pod) or disable it temporaly?
thank you, stefan

FYI: you can increase the incorrect login attempts by increasing the value of strikecount column in aradminpwdpolicy table ( aoplatform DB in postgresql pod).

e.g.
UPDATE aradminpwdpolicy SET strikecount = 10 WHERE orgname = '--globalorganization--';

Hi Stefan,

Sort of related but you can check the strike count of a user in this table, and if you reset strikecount to 0, they should be able to login again.

select * from aradminbasicauthuser;

I'm trying to figure out where the rules area, I believe they are still stored in a table here but perhaps they are hidden.

A user's password history is stored here just in case you might forget which passwords have already been used.

ARADMINBASICAUTHPWDHISTORY

It's all pretty much in the Postgres DB pod, I can't remember how rules are enforced for normal users, but, for example, password policy for admin users is stored here:
ARADMINPWDPOLICY

Hi @David Lewis,

thank you for the reply. yes, i know how to check in the DB whether the user is locked and how to reset it,
but i'd need to know whether it can be increased. dont you know please by any chance who is responsible for this inhouse or who could know the answer? i'd contact him/her.
thank you, stefan
