Configuring Login Settings
Choose Device Settings > Security > Login Settings to open the Login Settings page, where you can:
• • Configure the user blocking feature.
Note: The user blocking function applies only to local authentication instead of external
authentication through AA servers.
• •
Determine the timeout period for any inactive user.
• • Prevent simultaneous logins using the same login name.
▶
To configure user blocking:
1) To enable the user blocking feature, select the 'Block user on login failure' checkbox.
2) In the 'Block timeout' field, select a time option. This setting determines how long the user is
blocked.
• • If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as '4 min.'
3) In the 'Maximum number of failed logins' field, type a number. This is the maximum number of login
failures the user is permitted before the user is blocked from accessing the PRO4X.
4) Timeout for Failed Login Attempts: select a time option after which a failed attempt no longer
counts against the user. For example, if "Maximum number of failed logins" is 3, but the "Timeout
for Failed Login Attempts" has passed since the last failed attempt, the counter of failed logins
restarts.
5) Click Save.
Tip: If any user blocking event occurs, you can unblock that user manually by using the "unblock" CLI
command over a local connection. See Unblocking a User.

To set limitations for login timeout and use of identical login names:
1) In the "Idle timeout period" field, type a value or click
determines how long users are permitted to stay idle before being forced to log out.
• If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as '4 min.' See •
page 128).
• Keep the idle timeout to 20 minutes or less if possible. This reduces the number of idle sessions •
connected, and the number of simultaneous commands sent to the PRO4X.
2) Select the 'Prevent concurrent login with same username' checkbox to prevent multiple users from
using the same login name simultaneously.
3) Click Save.
