i am using rhel 8.8. i have been trying to get user account locked out after 3 unsuccessful login attempts.
authselect create-profile rav-passwd-policy -b sssd
authselect apply-changes
authselect select custom/rav-passwd-policy
authselect current
authselect enable-feature with-faillock

vim /etc/authselect/password-auth
