account keep on locking using input -oci connection

[BosKev]

Hey All,

I'm running into an issue lately where my input connection keeps locking ( this is due to company policy 3 times incorrect pw then lock). As a result I had to ask the Admin for unlock multiple times.

I never had this happen before this year(we usually change our password once a quarter to access the local db). Is there a new default setting in Alteryx where if there's a connection in a workflow it will automatically try to log on thus cause the account to be locked? anyway to disable? Thanks.

With Alteryx, it will always try to make the connection and get some meta data.  You can turn it off in Options, User Settings, Edit User Settings.

Under the Advanced tab, uncheck the "Disable Auto Configure" box.

Note however that this means you'll have to run your workflow to get any data into it.
