Other Options
Enable IP Lockout If an institution chooses to globally disable the IP Lockout security feature, they can uncheck the Enable IP Lockout checkbox. This will disable the default 10 minute lockout of the IP address, and allow the user to continue attempting to log in to the portals.
Note: This does not affect the delay between failed portal login attempts. With IP lockout disabled, the user will still experience the delay between failed login attempts, but the delay will reset after each 5th attempt.

Application Password Options
Check the box next to Enable Password Expiration to cause portal passwords to expire after a certain number of days (Alumni, Faculty, Faculty Administrative, and Student portals). Enter the number of days in which passwords should expire in the Expires Every # Days field. Portal users will be required to change their password after this number of days has passed since the last time their password was changed. The number of days can be set between 0 and 365. Setting the field to 0 (zero) equates to never expires.
