Working with User Accounts
AsyncOS displays the reason why the user account was locked when you view the user account on the
Edit User page.
Figure 8-12 A Locked User Account
To unlock a user account, open the user account by clicking on the user name in the Users listing and
click Unlock Account.
To manually lock a local user account, open the user account by clicking on the user name in the Users
listing and click Lock Account. AsyncOS displays a message saying that the user will be unable to log
into the appliance and asks if you want to continue.
You can also configure all local user accounts to lock after users fail to login successfully after a
configured number of attempts. For more information, see Configuring Restrictive User Account and
Password Settings, page 8-20.
Note If you lock the admin account, you can only be unlocking by logging in as the admin through a serial
communications connection to the serial console port. The admin user can always access the appliance
using the serial console port, even when the admin account is locked. See the “Setup and Installation”
chapter in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Configuration Guide for more information on accessing
the appliance using the serial console port.
To delete a user:
Step 1 Click the trash can icon corresponding to the user’s name in the Users listing.
Step 2 Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete in the warning dialog that appears.
Step 3 Commit your changes.
