The precedence for user lockout configuration is as follows:
|
|
|
|
Configuration for an auth mount using tune >> Configuration for an auth method in config file >>
|
|
Configuration for "all" auth methods in config file >> Default values.
|
|
|
|
The precedence for user lockout disable is as follows:
|
|
|
|

|
|
Configuration for an auth mount using tune >> Configuration for an auth method in config file >>
|
|
Configuration for "all" auth methods in config file >> Default values.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
User lockout parameters can be configured using config file for "all" auth methods or a specific auth method (userpass, ldap, or approle).
|
|
Please see [user lockout configuration](/vault/docs/configuration/user-lockout#user_lockout-stanza) for more details.
|
|
|
|
The user lockout configuration for the auth method at a given path can be tuned using auth tune. Please see [auth tune command](/vault/docs/commands/auth/tune)
|
|
or [auth tune api](/vault/api-docs/system/auth#tune-auth-method) for more details.
