User Login Inactivity

The User Login Inactivity parameter is used to disable users that have not logged in within a specified number of days. For example, if the User Login Inactivity parameter is set to 30 days and a user tries to log in after more than 30 days since the last successful login, the login will fail with the message "The User ID or password is not valid for the server." The user will not be able to log in again until a system administrator changes the user's password.

Once the password is changed, the user can log in with the temporary password. The temporary password must be changed to complete the login process.

If a user was disabled due to login inactivity, the System Log contains a message that shows the user is disabled. The following is an example of System Log message number 410:
2023-01-15 10:49:04.205577   ODUSER  21072   Warning  No   410   Failed
    login: Disabled(1) Locked Out(0) Failed Attempts(1) Last Successful  Login(2023-01-13 09:37:32)
    odserver.mysys.com 9.99.999.999 non-SSL  (Windows) (CLIENT GUI) (10.5.0.0)
Note:
  1. If a user is disabled due to login inactivity, the Disable User check box on the General tab will not be checked for the user. Instead, each time a user attempts to log in, the server determines if the user logged in within the specified number of days. If not, the user is not allowed to log in and message 410 is added to the System Log.
  2. Any users that could not log in due to user login inactivity can also be allowed to log in by first disabling the user and then enabling the user through two separate user update operations. The next time that the user attempts to log in, the user will be prompted to change the password.
  3. If the User Login Inactivity parameter is changed to Never Disable, any users that could not log in due to user login inactivity, will now be able to log in.
  4. The User Login Inactivity parameter does not apply to system administrators. This means system administrators will never be disabled even if the system administrator has not logged in within the specified number of days.
