Proxy Authentication and account locking

487405Aug 17 2007 — edited Aug 19 2007
We have an application that authenticates users using proxy authentication. Users have differnt roles and hence based on that they get different profiles. A user with a profile where the accoutn should be locked after 3 falied attempts doesn not work from the application. Btu for the same user, if I use sqlplus the account gets locked after 3 attempts.

The proxy account belongs to a profile that has unlimited set on "failed_login_attempts", but the user account has belongs to a profile where its set to 3. There are other users who would log into the system that have the same profile as the proxy accoutn as well.

What am I doing wrong, is there some confihuration that I'm missing.
