Security

The Security page is divided into 7 main panels, as described in the sections
that follow.

Login Failures

For increased security, the Login Failures section allows administrators to set
policies governing what happens when a user fails to log in successfully.

To set the Login Failures policy, check the

Enable

checkbox (the default is for

Login Failures to be enabled). The meanings of the entries are explained in the
table below:

Note:

If Login Failures is not enabled, users can attempt to log in an unlimited
number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes, we
recommend that you enable this function and enable the lockout
policies.
