Maximum Failed Login Attempts | This indicates the number of consecutive attempts that a user can try to log in without the account getting locked. If the value you entered is 2, the account is locked if the login attempt fails twice. | |||||||
Lock Timeout Increment Factor | This indicates how much the account unlock timeout is incremented by after each failed login attempt. For example, according to the values configured in the above screen, when a user exceeds the specified limit of 4 Maximum Failed Login Attempts, the account is locked for 10 minutes. This account unlock timeout is calculated as follows.
If the user attempts to log in with invalid credentials again after the wait time has elapsed and the account is unlocked, the number of login attempt cycles is now 2 and the wait time is 20 minutes. | |||||||
