Security

The Security page is divided into six main 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 in the
table below:
Entry
Allowed
Timeout
Lock Client PC
Lock Account
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.
126
Sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are
permitted from a remote computer. The default is 5 times.
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.
If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures have been
exceeded, the computer attempting to log in from that IP is
automatically locked out. No logins from that computer will be
accepted. The default is enabled.
Note: If the IP is changed, the computer will no longer be locked
out.
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.
