36.3.5 Enabling Intruder Detection

You can configure the POA to detect system break-in attempts in the form of repeated unsuccessful
logins. This feature can be especially helpful when allowing Remote client users to establish client/
server connections to MTAs in your system. See
page 643.

3 Select Enable Intruder Detection.
4 Specify how many unsuccessful login attempts are allowed before the user is locked out.
The default is 5: valid values range from 3 to 10.
5 Specify in minutes how long unsuccessful login attempts are counted.
The default is 15; valid values range from 15 to 60.
6 Specify in minutes how long the user login is disabled.
The default is 30; the minimum setting is 15.
7 Click OK to save the intruder detection settings.
ConsoleOne then notifies the POA to restart so the new settings can be put into effect.
If a user gets locked out by intruder detection, his or her GroupWise account is disabled. To restore
access for the user in ConsoleOne, right-click the User object, click GroupWise > Account, then
deselect Disable Logins. At restore access for the user at the POA Web console, click Configuration
> Intruder Detection, then clear the lockout.
