Authentication Failure Logging
This setting enables you to configure logging criteria for failed authentications. The following
settings are valid:
• Enabled-Every Failure—A failed login log entry is recorded after every failed login attempt.
• Enabled-Every 2nd Failure—A failed login log entry is recorded after every second failed
login attempt.
• Enabled-Every 3rd Failure (default)—A failed login log entry is recorded after every third
failed login attempt.
• Enabled-Every 5th Failure—A failed login log entry is recorded after every fifth failed login
attempt.
• Disabled—No failed login log entry is recorded.
For information about using this setting with SSH clients, see “iLO login with an SSH client” (page
67).
Authentication Failure Delay Time
This setting enables you to configure the duration of the iLO login delay after a failed login attempt.
The following values are valid: 2, 5, 10, and 30 seconds.
The default value is 10 seconds.
This feature is supported in iLO 4 2.20 and later.
Authentication Failures Before Delay
This setting enables you to configure the number of failed login attempts that are allowed before
iLO imposes a login delay. The following values are valid: 1, 3, 5, or every failed login attempt.
When you upgrade from an earlier version of the iLO firmware to iLO 4 2.20 or later, the default
value is every failed login attempt. With this setting, a login delay is imposed after the first failed
login attempt.
When you use a server that shipped with iLO 4 2.20 or later, or you reset the iLO 2.20 or later
firmware to the factory default settings, the default value is 1. With this configuration, a login
delay is not imposed until the second failed login attempt.
This feature is supported in iLO 4 2.20 and later.
