System Administrator Password Lockout
Good afternoon,
We have locked ourselves out of the System Administrator account in our instance of BMC Smart Reporting (v 8.0.9.2). This occured after 3 unsuccessful login attempts. The administrator account is required to be unlocked/available for the linkages between Smart Reporting and other BMC Suite components. While we are getting assistance in resetting the password, our concern is this:
It appears that if someone has the Smart Reporting login page link (which is quite generic), they can attempt to login as the system administrator 'siadmin' 3 times (with no knowledge of the password), which would effectively lock Smart Reporting down for any other users/administrators, and which could not be fixed until another password reset for the system admin account could be done. This is a significant risk in our context.
Is there a way to adjust the overall system administrator username to a unique value? Or to adjust the lockout configuration such that 3 login attempts does not completely shut Smart Reporting down?
Thank you.
