Defining lockout and event timeout
A lockout prevents logging into a valid user account after a predefined number of unsuccessful
login attempts. Lockouts help reduce brute-force password attacks from succeeding.
Event timeout defines the time interval during which identical incorrect credentials are treated as a
single login attempt for event recording.
NOTE: Failed user login attempts over Ethernet—and any associated lockouts—will apply to
both ION and Secure ION. Failed user login attempts over other communication channels—
such as a serial port—are tracked separately.
You can define the following account lockout and event timeout options:
•
Lockout after unsuccessful login attempts.
•
Lockout duration.
•
Event timeout for ION or Secure ION only, and only when not using ION sessions.
Prerequisites:
•
Open a Security Configuration File in the ION Setup Security wizard
To define user lockouts and timeouts:
