Setting up and testing CMM Lockout Notification

About this task

The CMM Lockout Notification feature allows the CMM application to call you or another administrator whenever a subscriber mailbox or a CMM administrator login is locked due to excessive failed login attempts. To set up this feature, you must create a lockout notification mailbox that uses outcalling to call the administrator’s telephone number when the mailbox is notified about a login violation.

Note

This lockout notification mailbox does notneed to be associated with an extension on the Communication Manager server. This mailbox receives a text message every time a Linux® operating system login or mailbox login is locked out.
