Changing the web console passwords

If you fail six times to log in to the IAS web console, your account is locked. To unlock it, you must change the password or have it changed for you. The account is not automatically unlocked if you wait long enough or clear the browser cache.

Use one of the following approaches:
  • If your bluuser account is locked, ask a member of the bluadmin user group to change the password by clicking Settings > Users and Privileges in the web console.

    1. As apuser, run apsetup.
