Media Lockout Settings

You can configure Media Encryption & Port Protection to lock a device after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts:

• Temporarily - If a device is locked temporarily, users can try to authenticate again after a specified time.
• Permanently - If the device is locked permanently, it stays locked until an administrator unlocks it.

Select one of these Actions to define if and when user accounts are locked:
