Configure this property to control if inactive users can authenticate on your
instance.
When the system property glide.authenticate.only.allow.active.user.login is not set to a value of true, users in the User \[sys_user\] table marked inactive can still login to the
instance. Users may be marked inactive if they no longer have permission to login (such as during termination from a company). If the property is not set to true, then these users may still access the
instance and any data they could previously access.

Set the glide.authenticate.only.allow.active.user.login property value to the recommended value of true (recommended), to ensures the users in the User \[sys_user\] table marked
inactive cannot log in to the instance and are locked out.
