Users log in SAP R/3 system by providing userid and password. If they enter wrong userid or password an error message ''Name or password is incorrect(repeat logon)''appears in the taskbar prompting user to provide correct userid and password. The number of incorrect logon attempts is determined by value of profile parameters which are used to define password and logon rules.
The profile parameter login/fails_to_user_lock defines the number of unsuccessful logon attempts before the system locks the user. By default, the lock applies until midnight. Default value: 12; permissible values: 1 -99. The basis team will set the value for this parameter.
The userid will be locked once the maximum number of incorrect logon attempts is exceeded. Normally user has to manually inform the basis user to unlock his userid. Here we will see how an automatic notification mail is sent to basis user once the userid gets locked.
