Anti Brute Force Setting

The Anti Brute Force user blocking mechanism allows disabling the login of a certain user if his password was entered incorrectly for a specific number of times. The duration of the blocking is also configurable.

Maximum number of failed logins

Enter the maximum number of failed login attempts after which it should not be possible for this user to login anymore. Leave this field empty to disable the user blocking feature.

Block time

The number of minutes the user is blocked after he exceeded his maximum number of failed login attempts. Leave this field empty to block him for an infinite amount of time until he is manually unblocked again.

Unblocking users

There are two possibilities to unblock a blocked user.

•A parent user may go to the user management settings (see the Section called Users And Groups ) and press the button “ Unblock ” for the user.

•It is also possible to use the serial console as for the initial configuration (see Table 4-1 ) and login as the user “ unblock ” . The IP-KVM switch will ask for the super user password and present a list of blocked users, which may be unblocked.
