Prevent user locking account

oraLaroOct 1 2013 — edited Oct 2 2013

We have a policy to lock a user after 3 failed login attempts but this can cause problems for other users.   

Is there a native way to prevent a user from locking account with the wrong password by doing something like

if failed login attempts = 2

   where OS_USER=xxx and MACHINE=yyyy 

   then

   prevent OS_USER=xxx and MACHINE=yyy from logging in.

   and email DBA_GROUP and OS_USER that OS_USER is being bold.

end if

It could be coded without too much hassle from a login trigger I suppose but wondering if theres a native Oracle security policy that could be enabled that would do same.
