Description

User Lockout Attempts Threshold

The lockout threshold can be set to any value from 0 to 999 (attempts). If the lockout threshold is set to zero, users will not be locked out due to invalid sign-in attempts. Any other value sets a specific lockout threshold. The setting applies for all users configured on the web interface.

User Lockout Threshold Reset After (minutes)

This value represents the time window the system checks for the previous invalid sign-in attempts after the user tried to sign in unsuccessfully. By default, the lockout threshold is 30 minutes, so the invalid sign-in attempts that happened 30 minutes ago will not be taken into account when checking if the user should option defines how long the system caches the failed login attempts. If the user makes as many failed login attempts as the User Lockout Attempts Threshold configuration setting specifies in the User Lockout Threshold Reset After (minutes) interval, then the user will be locked out.
