Advanced Tab(3.3)

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.  Refer Enhanced User Security (3.3)

When user account is locked, the password settings for the user account must be updated in the Users tab, unless Enable Automatic Unlocking Of Users is selected.

Enable Logging for User Login

Enable Automatic Unlocking Of Users

This checkbox is available when enhanced user security is enabled.  Refer Enhanced User Security (3.3)

Select this check box to automatically unlock accounts that have been disabled due to failed login attempts. Accounts that have been manually disabled from the Users tab are not affected by this setting.

Time Before Automatic Unlocking (Minutes)

This field is enabled when checkbox for Enable Automatic Unlocking Of Users is checked.

Enter the time that should pass before a locked account is automatically unlocked by the system.

The minimum value is 1 minute.

Reauthenticate Users after Inactivity

Time Before Reauthentication (Minutes)

This field is enabled when checkbox for Reauthenticate Users After Inactivity is checked.  

Set the maximum inactive time here.

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 mzcli 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.
