Number of Consecutive Erroneous Login Attempts

In order to configure the maximum number consecutive failed login attempts, open the Advanced tab, and set a value in Number Of Consecutive Erroneous Login Attempts. The default is 3. 
When the maximum number of failed login attempts is reached, the user must restart the Desktop. If enhanced user security is enabled, the user account is also locked. For more information, see the section below, Enhanced User Security.

Enable Logging for User Login

In order to configure the system to log failed attempts in the System Log, open the Advanced tab, and select the check box Enable Logging For User Login. Successful logins and locked accounts are always logged regardless of this setting.

Reauthenticate Users after Inactivity

In order to configure the system to reauthenticate users after a period of inactivity  in the Desktop or mzsh shell (interactive mode), open the Advanced tab and select the check box Reauthenticate Users After Inactivity. Then  set the maximum inactive time in Time of Inactivity Before Reauthentication (Minutes).

In the Desktop, the duration of time that the user does not perform any actions is counted as inactive time, regardless of ongoing processes. 
However, users are not logged out due to inactivity, but must authenticate again in order to continue the session.

In the mzsh shell, the duration of time that the user does not press any key is counted as inactive time, provided that there is no ongoing command execution. Users are logged out as a result of inactivity and are prompted to enter the password again.
