A9: AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE
The AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE keyword is used to force userids to be frozen
when the number of failed logons without a good logon reaches the value of
AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS (page 213).
Syntax:
AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE { ON | OFF }
According to the following Example, when the number of failed logons becomes 3 (that
is, equal to 3), then the userid will be frozen.
Example:
AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS 3
AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE ON
If this keyword is omitted, then AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_FREEZE will default to
Safeguard’s AUTHENTICATE-FAIL-FREEZE setting.
If this keyword is present in a UAGroup of the UAACL file, that keyword’s value
overrides the one in the UACONF file.
Note: When no value for AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS is set in
XYGATEUA, then the value set by AUTHENTICATE-MAXIMUM-ATTEMPTS in
Safeguard is used.
A10: AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_STOP
The AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_STOP keyword is used to stop the process when the
number of failed logons without a good logon for a user exceeds the value of
AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS (page 213).
Syntax:
AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_STOP { ON | OFF }
According to the following Example, when the number of failed logon for a user
becomes 5 (that is, greater than 4), then the process that is trying to logon will be
stopped.
Example:
AUTHENTICATE_MAXIMUM_ATTEMPTS 4
AUTHENTICATE_FAIL_STOP ON
If this keyword is present in a UAGroup of the UAACL file, that keyword’s value
overrides the one in the UACONF file.
The default value is OFF.
