Parameter
login/fails_to_user_lock
Short text
Maximum number of failed attempts before user is locked
Parameter Description
Every time an incorrect logon password is entered, the failed logon counter for the relevant user master record is increased. The logon attempts can be logged in the Security Audit Log. If the limit specified by this parameter is exceeded, the relevant user is locked. This process is also logged in Syslog.
The lock is no longer valid after the current day is over. (Exception: see login/failed_user_auto_unlock)
The failed logon counter is reset once the user logs on using the correct password. Logons that are not password-based do not have any effect on the failed logon counter. However, active logon locks are checked for every logon.
