Configuring the General Access Control Parameters
To avoid unauthorized login to the system, PTP 820 automatically blocks users upon a
configurable number of failed login attempts. You can also configure PTP 820 to block users that
have not logged into the unit for a defined number of days.
To configure the blocking criteria:
1.
Select Platform > Security > Access Control > General. The Access Control General
Configuration page opens.
Figure 198 Access Control General Configuration Page
2.
In the Failure login attempts to block user field, select the number of failed login attempts that
will trigger blocking. If a user attempts to login to the system with incorrect credentials this
number of times consecutively, the user will temporarily be prevented from logging into the
system for the time period defined in the Blocking period field. Valid values are 1-10. The
default value is 3.
3.
In the Blocking period (Minutes) field, enter the length of time, in minutes, that a user is
prevented from logging into the system after the defined number of failed login attempts.
Valid values are 1-60. The default value is 5.
4.
In the Unused account period for blocking (Days) field, you can configure a number of days
after which a user is prevented from logging into the system if the user has not logged in for
the configured number of days. Valid values are 0, or 30-90. If you enter 0, this feature is
disabled. The default value is 0.
