Security
The Security page is divided into 5 panels, as described in the sections that
follow.
Login Failures
For increased security, the Login Failures section allows administrators to set
policies governing what happens when a user fails to log in successfully.
To set the Login Failures policy, check the
Enable
checkbox (the default is for
Login Failures to be enabled). The meanings of the entries are explained below.
Note:
If Login Failures is not enabled, users can attempt to log in an unlimited
number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes, we
recommend that you enable this function and enable the lockout
policies.
Entry
Explanation
Allowed
Sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that
are permitted from a remote computer. The default is 5
times.
Timeout
Sets the amount of time a remote computer must wait
before attempting to login again after it has exceeded the
number of allowed failures. The default is 3 minutes.
Lock Client PC
If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures
have been exceeded, the computer attempting to log in
is automatically locked out. No logins from that computer
will be accepted. The default is enabled.
Note:
This function relates to the client computer’s IP. If
the IP is changed, the computer will no longer be locked
out.
Lock Account
If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures
have been exceeded, the user attempting to log in is
automatically locked out. No logins from the username
and password that have failed will be accepted. The
default is enabled.
