Learn how to configure a directory locally for the Cloud Identity Engine.
To configure a local directory for the Cloud Identity Engine, use the CIE Directory
by completing the following steps.
The following security measures apply for CIE Directory users:
Users must change their passwords after their first login.
If a user fails to log in successfully after five attempts, the user's
account is locked for five minutes or until it is unlocked by an
administrator. The time that the account is locked is based on the number of
unsuccessful attempts; for example, after 20 failed attempts, the account is
locked for 20 minutes or until it is unlocked by an administrator.
If a user fails to log in successfully after 24 attempts, the user's account
is disabled until it is enabled by an administrator.
Add the CIE Directory in the Cloud Identity Engine.
Select Directory Add a new directory.
Set Up a CIE
Directory.

The Cloud Identity Engine supports
lowercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters, hyphens,
periods, and underscores for the directory name. If you are using a
Netbios name, the directory name must contain fewer than 16
characters.
