GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: SYSTEM SCREEN

•At the Failed Password Attempts Timespan (in minutes) [1-1440]field—with the Lockout by User- name and/or Lockout by IP address option(s) enabled—enter the number of minutes that defines the interval in which a user can enter an incorrect pass- word—as specified in the Allowable Number of Failed Password Attempts [1-10] field—before being locked out of the ProxyBlocker.

NOTE: If the number of failed attempts is 3 and the number of minutes in the timespan is 10, if any user (one or more) enters an incorrect password for that same username within the 10-minute timespan, a lockout would be made for that username on the third unsuccessful attempt. However, if the third failed login attempt is made outside of the 10-minute timespan, there would be no lock out for that username. In a similar scenario for an IP address (using the same timespan and designated number of failed login attempts), if any user (one or more) enters an incorrect password for any username (one or more) using that same machine, a lockout would be made for that machine's IP address on the third unsuccessful login attempt. But there would be no lockout for that IP address if the third failed attempt was made outside of the 10- minute timespan.
