Unlocking Active Directory user accounts
If the password is entered incorrectly several times (configuration dependent), the user account is locked in Active Directory.
If the user account is linked to an identity, the user account is unlocked when a new central password is set for the identity. This behavior is controlled by the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | UnlockByCentralPassword configuration parameter. For more information about an identity’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
