VCS Cisco user account locking

Hi Experts,

We implement the VCS servers on our clients and as part of the implementation, the client makes the assessment of vulnerabilities on the device. Is it possible the unit of VCS to implement some type of account lockout after a set number of user/password incorrect attempts name?

Thank you.

BR,

Hi Acevirgil,

At that time vcs is not that kind of password policy. but you can use LDAP to connect on VCS and LDAP, you can set the password policy.

I know not if that would be accepted by the customer or not.

Maybe someone else have an alternative workaround for this.

  • The user account lock & expired

    Hi all

    I'm confused, what is the difference of locking of account & expired he brings to the user or the owner?

    If I blocked an account that it cannot connect.

    If I have an account on expiry it may not also login.

    So, what is the difference?

    Thank you

    My delimma is that we have a lot of 'unknown' users created in our database of PROD. Some oracle tools and some come from our 3 party apps tools. We ask the IT audit

    to remove unused user accounts. But I don't know where users are not used. If I lock it and nobody complains doesn't mean that it is not used? If I have password expire it?

    What is the best to use to check if the USER name is not used? Lock it or it expires?

    You must read this quote from doc that I have provided, because it exactly answers your question. It tells you the difference between expiring and the account was locked.

  • User account locked access to the executable file on a mapped drive to a pc

    I have a windows 7 64 bit pc.

    I mapped drives that I have used for years.

    Now, 1 mapped drive on this pc, my account is locked when I try to run an executable file. I can connect to other PCs and it is not a problem. I don't have any credentials stored on my pc. I rebooted, removed from the computer from the domain and readded. I checked the server when the actions are (logged in as myself) and can run executable files. It is a problem on this pc for this drive. Even if I use the full path in windows Explorer, my account locked with incorrect password.

    Any ideas on where to find the next?

    The executable is probably attempting to access a shared resource using the incorrect credentials. You would examine its inner workings in detail, for example by checking his profile files and registry keys, in order to know what it is.

  • Cisco VCS does not show the user account option

    Hi team,

    We have 7.2 VCS server control, I'm not able to see the option of user account under maintenance-Login accounts. Please advise.

    We don't have find me and TMS provisioing Extension service license, don't you think that's the reason.

    I just started my first deployment of VCS, MCU and TMS and I must add customer movie, cisco Jabber video for Ipad and integrtaion with CUCM. CUCM has some end points of polycom and C40 and C60.

    You precious advice will give me comfort during this deployment.

    Irfan

    BR

    Hello

    It's probably because that VCS runs in TMS PE commissioning mode, in which FindMe is managed by the portal user in TMS, meaning there is no need to set up the maintenance > logins on the VCS.

    Edit: You added information that you do not have the keys option Device Provisioning and FindMe. Because user names relate directly to FindMe, the absence of an option key FindMe would explain also unable to see maintenance > login accounts > user accounts.

  • 'File name' is locked for editing by 'Client', why not show the correct user account

    A .xls file created by MS Excel 2003 and saved on the server files (Windows Server 2008 R2 without Service Pack).

    We have two users: A and c. accounts of A and C join same above file server's domain. A approval of the admin on the server, C is a common user. The version of MS Excel on the pc is 2010, although it is 2003 for C.

    C tries to open a file on the server and it has the change permission on the file and the file, however, the file is locked for editing by 'administrator '. For the moment, no one opens this file, so which is 'Administrator'?

    More tests:

    (1) once A open file C is reached, there is message: file is locked for editing by 'Client', so why shows 'Client' instead of a correct domain account?

    (2) after C opens the file and then A is reached, there is message: file is locked for a domain C user account. So it seems OK.

  • All locked or disabled to restart user accounts

    I was faced with a problem with my user accounts getting locked out/disabled every time that I reboot my system. I can't start in safe mode, I can't run the system restore, I can't do anything but run a startup disk that will allow me to unlock locked accounts and remove the passwords so now that I'm stuck without the disc I'm totally locked out of my system.

    I am not connect to any network or something like that so they aren't locking me. I think it's Windows or a virus, but I've scanned several times my virus from the system.

    I realize maybe there's not much I can do until I have retrieve the boot disk, but I want to solve this problem, so it is not keep happening to me.

    Hi Mchase34,

    You will need to make arrangements for the drive of the Windows operating system. Once you have the startup disk, and then follow the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  • I locked myself in one of my user accounts - I have reset the password and can not remember what it is

    URGENT! -I'm locked in one of my user accounts - the system won't let me not reset the password

    You said that you had to reset the password, but forget what it is.
    Do you then remember the previous password?
    1. If you remember the previous password until you did reset.
    2. If you have the DVD drive or Vista repair.
    3. If there is a restore point which a logon succeeded.
    This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.

    If you meet the above conditions, then use this tutorial:

    Hello

    I'm looking to see if there is an impact to change the password of the local user account on an instance of a content server Cisco TelePresence virtual machine?

    The software version is v6.2 build 4073.

    Thank you in advance,

    Robert

    I'll assume, you are referring to the administrator account, but it can be applied to any local account which is located on the TCS server itself.  It has no impact to change the password, unless you are using doesn't say account to connect to the server of TCS or web interface, it will not affect the application of TCS as most things such as external storage or clustering rely on domain accounts and not the local server.

  • Applet user accounts causing the failed connection and locking (all LOCKED OUT USERS)

    I set it up to lock an account after 3 failed attempts.

    If I open the "User accounts" applet, it causes the current user has a login attempt has failed. If I do this 3 times, I'm locked up.

    Worse still, if I open the applet "User accounts" and then click "Manage user accounts" 3 times, I lock all users!

    What is the origin of the attempts to logon? This does not happen if I use "Computer management" to access user accounts.

    Thank you

    Given that the problem exists on all machines, it must be due to security policy, you have created. Security policy questions are beyond the scope of the proceeding. I recommend that transfer you your question in this forum TechNet.
