Set a threshold value for unsuccessful login attempts

You can define the maximum number of unsuccessful login attempts a user is allowed to make, after which the target account gets automatically locked. This is termed as Account Lockout Threshold in Sectona. It guards against unauthorized access. Once a user gets locked, only the global administrator or his equivalent can unlock them.

Procedure:

  1. Login to the system and select Platform Configuration from the product navigator.

  2. Under the Authentication section → Sectona Authentication.

  3. Under the 'Sectona Authentication & Lockout Policy' section, define the User Lockout Threshold in terms of attempts.

  4. Click on Save.
