Configuring User Authentication
Configuring User Authentication
Intruders often gain access to a system by making multiple attempts to guess a user's
password. You can configure the Safeguard software to help prevent this possibility by
setting the maximum number of logon attempts for a user ID at one time, and setting a
delay or freeze if that number is exceeded.
These Safeguard attributes relate to user authentication:
AUTHENTICATE-MAXIMUM-ATTEMPTS
The maximum number of failed logon attempts for a single user ID before the
Safeguard software freezes the user ID or causes a timeout to occur. The default
value is 3.
