VMware ESXi
TMA-ESXI9-3.13
Host must unlock accounts after a specified timeout period
Deskripsi
Ensuring that user accounts on the ESXi host are automatically unlocked after a specified period contributes to a balance between security and operational usability. This mechanism reactivates idle accounts promptly while mitigating potential unauthorized access risks. The audit reads Security.AccountUnlockTime with esxcli and requires 900 seconds. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.
