CN8000 User Manual

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 policies, 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	Explanation

Allowed	Sets the number of consecutive failed log in attempts
	that are permitted from a remote computer. The
	default is 5 times.

Timeout	Sets the amount of time a remote computer must
	wait before attempting to log in again after it has
	exceeded the number of allowed failures. The
	default is 3 minutes.

Lock Client PC	If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures
	have been exceeded, the computer attempting to log
	in is automatically locked out. No log ins 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.

Lock Account	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.

Note: If you don’t enable Login Failures, users can attempt to login an unlimited number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes, we recommend that you enable this function and enable the lockout policies.
