Lockout Duration in Weblogic does not work - weblogic

I set up Lockout Duration is 2mins, Lockout Threshold is 2. After 3 invalid login attemps, user 'abc' was locked automatically by weblogic.
But after 2mins, I try to login again, weblogic warns me that 'abc' still locked.
So anyone know what problem here is?

Configuring the failed login attempts control policy

I am configuring the failed login attempts control policy to lock the account after three attempts with the following configuration
When performing the test after 3 attempts in the 4, the account is blocked for a few minutes, but not for 60 minutes as it appears in the rangeSeconds=3600 parameter.
Also, when I open a different web browser where I did the first test, the system allows me to enter and should not allow it since the account should be blocked.
Please know if another person has already made this configuration and how to do it.
Thanks for your help.

How do I fix the error:1069 - The service did not start due to logon failure?

I have written my own windows service which interacts with a SQL database and updates it. The service was running fine and seems to be functioning correctly, however of late it seems to go down at random times and cannot restart due to the error designated in the question. I have tried various searches to fix this, but unfortunately I have come up with nothing. The aim is to eventually having this service running on my companies server, but I can't adjust any server settings, I am but a user on the server, so I have restrictions to some settings.
Any quick fixes, would be helpful!
Open the Services Manager. ( Win + R, then type services.msc )
Then right click on the SQL Server process and click Properties
Then go to Log On, and select This account:
Then click Browse, and add your username in the box. (Notice it should contain the domain, in my case is AD\myusername), then Check Names and accept.
Finally type your password in the other two fields, and that's it, you should have permission to start your process now.
Cheers!!
One issue for us was the format of the account user name, we initially used
domain\username
and got the 1069-logon error, then ultimately I tried validating the user name in the properties | logon tab of the Service (in Control Panel / Service Manager), using the "Browse" and "Search" for the user name and it turned it suggested and validated ok with the reverse format
username#domain
This also worked and resolved the 1069 error, and let us script the startup using sc.exe.
Error 1069 is vague and can have different causes. I am sharing my experience here.
I encountered this error when trying to get a service to run under my account (I am trying to get my services to see the same LocalDB as interactive processes running on my account for development purposes). I use an MSA (Microsoft Account) with Windows’s PIN login normally, so I rarely enter my Windows password. To resolve the issue, I locked my screen, selected Password input instead of PIN input, and then entered my password. I assume this somehow reminded Windows what my password was and made my local account more legit.
Before doing this, you need to configure the user account in question to have the Logon as Service privilege. To do this, open the Group Policy Editor. Expand Computer / Windows Configuration / Security Configuration / Local Policies / User Permissions Assignment and then open Login as Service. From there, you can add your user in question.
also check for "Deny Logon service" policy.
user should not be added over there
We had this issue as well because the account was set so that the password expired. After we updated the account to not expire and set the password this error stopped.
The account could also be locked out. To unlock it, you only need to change that user's password (new and old password can be the same).
What also worked for me was re-entering the password in the services->LogOn window. Even when you think the account and password is correct, re-entering it will re-grant the account permission to log on as a service.

How to provide an already running process with Kerberos and AFS ticket?

I have a Linux server using Kerberos for user authentication, and AFS for user homes. When I log into the machine with a forwardable Kerberos ticket, (I suppose) PAM takes care of my AFS authentication too, so I automatically get access to my AFS home after login.
Let's say I log in, and I create a screen session and start an application in it. Then I detach my screen session, and log out from the machine. My Kerberos ticket gets dropped automatically, so my screen session running in the background and the application running in it doesn't have access to my AFS home anymore. This is normal, and it's good as it is.
Next time when I log into the machine, how can I "provide" my already running screen session and the application running in it (the processes themselves) with a new Kerberos ticket and make it able to access my AFS home again without having to restart it?
You should be able to attach to the screen session, create a new window/'screen' inside of it (with the default config, you can do this by pressing C-a C-c), and just run kinit && aklog. You do not need to run this "inside" the existing running applications or anything like that; you just need to run it somewhere within the same screen session. After that, you can detach the screen and logout, and the screen session should still have your credentials (until they expire; you can use krenew to keep them going for a big longer, but not forever).
A more detailed explanation of what's going on, if you want to know. I'm assuming you are logging in via ssh and PAM is being used, but the same general process works for other setups, as well:
When you first login, PAM assigns you a PAG (a kind of container for your AFS tokens), and runs something that is somewhat equivalent to kinit and aklog to give you AFS tokens inside that PAG. Your shell is then run inside that PAG, so everything that you run in that shell is associated with that PAG and its credentials. That includes the screen session you created.
When you logout, the PAM configuration says to destroy your credentials, which means it destroys the AFS tokens associated with that PAG. That's why the screen session loses credentials and loses access to your home directory: the tokens for that PAG have been destroyed.
Later on, if you login again, you're assigned a new separate PAG, and again you get AFS tokens. The old screen session is still associated with the other PAG, the one where the tokens are destroyed. So if you attach to that screen session, and run kinit and aklog somewhere inside of it, that will create new tokens that are associated with the old PAG from the first time you logged in. You can then detach from the screen session and logout, and the tokens in your current PAG will be destroyed. But the PAG for the screen session is untouched, since neither PAM nor anything else knows about that PAG anymore. So the tokens for it will continue to be valid until they expire.
The "right" answer is to use something like krenew or kstart to monitor your
screen session and make sure it has a valid tgt and afs token. Most sites will allow you to renew your ticket for up to 7 days.
However, that's not the question you asked. The ticket part is easy. The environmental variable KRB5CCNAME stores the location of your kerberos ticket.
Generally it looks something like this
KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_7472_lIwDv27056
So poke around in the /proc system and find the value of KRB5CCNAME for your screen process and copy your existing ticket to that file location.
The AFS token part is much trickier, if you can get the screen process to somehow run aklog after you copy the ticket, that is the most straightforward
solution.
There are tools for extracting and setting tokens. gettoken and settoken, but I know of no straightforward way to use them to set the token for an arbitrary process. AFS tokens are stored as part of the process data in the kernel. That's why you see the funny high numbered groups when you use the groups command on a machine using AFS.

Glassfish: Admin console logs me out before timeout

The glassfish admin console (the web-gui) keeps kicking me out after a quite short amount of time. The default session timeout of 60 minutes wasn't changed. By a short amount of time I'm talking about like 5-10min.
Any idea what might cause this?
I'm connected via localhost without password, but also tried to set a password.
The problem was that I had an application deployed on root-level-context "/" and everytime this app logged out it also killed my admin-gui-session (which was in another tab open in the same browser).

How do I change the max failed login attempts to lock out the user in Weblogic 10.0?

We have a requirement to set the number of login attempts to 3 before we lock out the user. It seems the default is 5. How do I change this value in Weblogic 10.0?
Log into the WLS console and go to:
Home > Summary of Security Realms > myrealm > Configuration > User Lockout
There the Lockout Threshold is the times a user may attempt a login before locking.
