Can anyone please provide me information on how we can test the working of above two parameters.
I tested sec_max_failed_login_attempts with value as 4 and tried to connect to oracle from other user but the sqlplus prompt is coming out after 3 unseccessful attemps, wasn't it supposed to be 4.

[abc@db10 ~]$ sqlplus
