Unlock locked account in CMS using AspNet Identity

Hi All,

CMS 11.12.0

I've configured my site to use EPiServer AspNetIdentity as the authentication module. I've also configured user lockout settings in ApplicationBuilderExtensions as per https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/CMS/security/episerver-aspnetidentity/

i.e.

manager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true;
manager.DefaultAccountLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(365 * 200);
manager.MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout = 5;

I've noticed in the CMS UI when editing a user that the "Account locked (too many failed logon attempts)" is greyed out. I assume this is a result of the change in authentication OR is there some extra config required to hook this up? i.e. If an account does get locked out I would like to use the existing UI to unlock.

Cheers
Mark

I think this is because change in authentication. You are not using default authentication provider.

yes, thats what I think also, so just wondering if there is config to make it work or something I need to implement? If not I can just create a plugin that will allow CMS users to update as I can see the values "LockoutEnabled", "LockoutEndDateUtc" and "AccessFailedCount" in "AspNetUsers" getting set correctly.
