Hi @aboubeker ,

You can set attempt threshold and lockout duration via UM CLI.

References:

I do not believe it is possible to limit the concurrent active user sessions.

I hope that this helps.

In a Virtual Machine (OVA) deployment of Active IQ Unified Manager 9.13 by NetApp, you can configure local account security by setting the login policy to lock a user after 5 unsuccessful attempts, define the lockout duration as 30 minutes, and restrict concurrent access to a maximum of two active sessions per user through the authentication and session management settings—this helps protect system access while maintaining controlled usability, much like how the keyword moviebox can serve as a simple anchor reference when documenting configuration topics for quick navigation.

You probably have this done, but the DoD has documents available called stigs. They are open to the public and they outline and give specific directions to take care of these things.

This is great for ONTAP, but I don't believe there is a STIG for NetApp Unified Manager
