can't login to web app

[Craig Macha]

WLS 6.0 SP1 on Solaris. I've seen this behavior twice now... I try to access
a protected page and get the basic auth login prompt. I type in the correct id/pswd
and am refused access. Some time later, I try again and get access to the page
just fine. This is not a busy server and I know that no configuration changes
occured on the server. FYI it seems to be for a single id each time. Once it
was for my own user id and the second time it was for the system id. Trying from
different client browsers doesn't make a difference. While the problem exists
for one id I can login to other apps using a different id just fine.

I have seen this with one of my own web apps as well as the console itself.

Anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions?

oh.... someone just mentioned to me that if a user enters the wrong password 3
times, it locks the user for a specified period of time. At least this is what
we think caused our problem.
