asked on

Blackberry policy to auto unlock blackberries after a time period?

I'm loking to setup a new blackberry policy for user password lockout. What I would like is for the unit to be locked after 5 unsuccessful attempts. This part is easy to setup.
Besides this, I would like to configure it so the unit is auto unlocked again an hour later. This is to save on administration, where I can just tell users to wait an hour if they lock it.
I'm using BES express.

Sorry Rob, I phrased that completely wrong.
What I want is for the password attempts to reset back to 10 after an hour of waiting.
So, a user tries the wrong password 9 times, then they are warnded that the next one will wipe it. Then they wait 1 hour, and the attempts goes back to 10.
Our vpn cryptocards are set this way, and it cuts down administration. If someone locks it, we tell them to wait the hour.

Hi,

You cannot do this in the BlackBerry IT Policy - you can set a prescribed number of failures before the device wipes as per my original post.

See page 118 of the following IT Policy Guide:

Moderator - my original response is factually accurate.
