Account Locking

Definition

The process of temporarily disabling user accounts on a system or domain.

How it works

Management servers with enterprise policies for account management provide the ability to enable and disable account for given rules. The rules may include specific periods of time (eg. weekend, plant shutdown, leave periods), specific user types or groups, or individual users.

Single Sign-on

Role based vs Attribute based systems

Examples of account configuration stores
