passwd-entry role [device-provisioning-admin\|helpdesk\| monitor\| network-admin\| security-admin\| superuser\|system-admin\|vendor-admin\| web-user-admin] max-fail <1-100> lockout-time <0-600>	Configures user-role based account lockout criteria role – Select the user-role. The options are: device-provisioning-admin helpdesk monitor network-admin security-admin system-admin vendor-admin web-user-admin max-fail <1-100> – Specify the maximum number of consecutive, failed attempts allowed before an account is locked. Specify a value from 1 - 100. lockout-time <<0-600> – Specify the maximum time, in minutes, for which an account remains locked. The value ‘0‘ indicates that the account is permanently locked. Specify a value from 0 - 600 minutes. When configured, the lockout is individually applied to each account within the specified role/roles. For example, consider the ‘monitor‘ role having two users: ‘user1‘ and ‘user2‘. The max-fail and lockout-time is set at ‘5‘ attempts and ‘10‘ minutes respectively. In this scenario, user2 makes 5 consecutive, failed login attempts, and the user2 account is locked out for 10 minutes. However, during this lockout time the user1 account remains active. Note: In the event-system-policy context, enable ‘login-lockout‘ and ‘login-unlocked‘ event notification to trigger e-mail or syslog notification to users on occurrence of the login-lockout and login-unlock events. For more information, see event.
