Intruder Detection

Use this page to set up optional intruder detection features for the user accounts in this eDirectory™ container.

Detect Intruders

Enables the intruder detection system for the user accounts in the container.

Incorrect Login Attempts

Specifies the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are allowed before intruder detection is activated. If a person uses any of the user accounts in this container to log in and fails consecutively more than this number of times, intruder detection is activated. The number is stored in the Login Intruder Limit property of the container.

Intruder Attempt Reset Interval

Specifies the time span in which consecutive failed logins must occur for intruder detection to be activated. Specify the number of days, hours, and minutes.

Lock Account after Detection

Specifies whether to disable login if intruder detection is activated on a user account in this container. If you don't select this check box, no action is taken when intruder detection is activated. If you select this check box and the system locks a user account because of intruder detection, you can unlock the account by deselecting the Account Locked check box on the Intruder Lockout property page of the User object.

Days, Hours, Minutes

These three fields specify the length of time that login is disabled when intruder detection is activated on a user account in this container. Specify the number of days, hours, and minutes you want, or accept the default of 15 minutes. After the specified time elapses, the system re-enables login for the user account. The contents of these fields are stored in the Intruder Lockout Reset Interval property of the container.
