I am working with an asp.net/vb.net application whose users have oracle accounts to connect to the application.
The database is set up to allow three failed login attempts. When connecting directly to the database, the sys.user$ lcount field increments on unsuccessful login attempts, and resets to 0 on successful login attepts. This is what I expect should happen.
However, when logging in through the application, using:
objConnection = New OracleConnection(m_strConnectionString)
objConnection.Open()
the lcount field sporatically increments on unsuccessful login attempts (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't), and never resets to 0 on successful login attempts. I would have expected it to behave as it does when connecting directly to the database.
Why does the lcount field not reset on a successful login through the application? How can I make it increment on each unsuccessful login attempt and reset on each successful login attempt?
Thank you!
