Security; Login Failures - ATEN CL5716I User Manual

Security

The Security page is divided into 7 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.

Explanation
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 is automatically locked out. No logins from that
computer will be accepted. The default is enabled.
Note: This function relates to the client computer's
IP. 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.
