Enable Account Lockout after 3 failed logins

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Passwords are prune to Brute
force attacks, an attacker can easily brute force the passwords as the password policy is weak and
allows simple alpha numeric characters without any restriction of password length e.g.: admin, pass
etc.
Account lockout mechanisms are used to mitigate brute force password guessing attacks. Accounts
are typically locked after 3 to 5 unsuccessful login attempts and can only be unlocked after a
predetermined period of time, via a self-service unlock mechanism, or intervention by an
administrator. Account lockout mechanisms require a balance between protecting accounts from
unauthorized access and protecting users from being denied authorized access.

IBM Private Cloud uses the Liberty OIDC implementation as the Authentication service. Today, Liberty does not provide the account lock out for multiple failed logins for the basic and the LDAP user.

    we are accepting the request on the basis of doing some kind of locked, however the implementation may not be done in exactly the way requested in the summary.
