RE: Authentication options with SS2005

Hi Jason,
SQL Server does not provide such function. You may give Microsoft feedback
via https://connect.microsoft.com/sql so that your suggestion will be heard
by the product team and you may get their responses via email.

Personally I do not think that this is a secure way since your valid logins
will face the risk of locking if some hackers just want to make your logins
locked. If it is required for you, you may consider implementing this
function in your application level by yourself. I think that your meaning
of locking logins here is that you temporarily DENY all the permissions to
the login.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. Have a good day!

Best regards,
