Chapter 18 Configuring SGM Security

Configuring SGM User-Based Access

Step 2 Enter the following command:

# cd /opt/CSCOsgm/bin

Step 3 (Optional) You can configure SGM to generate an alarm after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts by a user. To do so, enter the following command:

# ./sgm badloginalarm number-of-attempts

where number-of-attemptsis the number of unsuccessful login attempts allowed before SGM generates an alarm.

The valid range is 1 unsuccessful attempt to an unlimited number of unsuccessful attempts. The default value is 5 unsuccessful attempts.

To disable this function (that is, to prevent SGM from automatically generating an alarm after unsuccessful login attempts), enter the following command:

# ./sgm badloginalarm clear

Step 4 (Optional) You can configure SGM to disable a user’s security authentication automatically after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts. To do so, enter the following command:

# ./sgm badlogindisable number-of-attempts

where number-of-attemptsis the number of unsuccessful login attempts allowed before SGM disables the user’s authentication. SGM does not delete the user from the authentication list, SGM only disables the user’s authentication.

The valid range is 1 unsuccessful attempt to an unlimited number of unsuccessful attempts. The default value is 10 unsuccessful attempts.

To re-enable the user’s authentication, use the sgm enableuser command.

To disable this function (that is, to prevent SGM from automatically disabling a user’s authentication after unsuccessful login attempts), enter the following command:

# ./sgm badlogindisable clear
