Problem conclusion

• An account lockout policy was added to the file repository. It
  is enabled by default on new file repositories. It can be
  enabled on migrated or updated file repositories. Review the
  Knowledge Center for more detailed information on the account
  lockout, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was/9.0.5?topic=adapters-
  file-adapter
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.22 and 9.0.5.12.
