Usage guidelines
You can set this limit to prevent malicious hacking of usernames and passwords.
This configuration takes effect only for the users at next login.
The any authentication fails if the total number of authentication attempts (including both publickey and
password authentication attempts) exceeds the upper limit configured by the ssh server
authentication-retries command.
If the authentication method of SSH users is password-publickey, the server first uses publickey
authentication, and then uses password authentication to authenticate SSH users. The process is
regarded as one authentication attempt.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of authentication attempts for SSH users to 4.
