Login
To prevent attacks on user passwords, you can limit how often each user may fail to enter the correct password before they are locked out for a certain amount of time.
By default, a user must wait for 15 minutes after 5 consecutive failed login attempts.
| Property | Default value | Explanation |
|---|
| login.fails.lock.timeout | 900 (=15 minutes) | The amount of time in seconds a user needs to wait after using up all their login attempts. If the value is less than 60, it is clamped to 60. |
| login.fails.lock.count | 5 | The number of consecutive failed login attempts before a user is locked out. Set to 0 for an unlimited amount of attempts. |
| login.fails.lock.onfullcache | true | Whether the system is locked when the login cache is full. Users cannot login anymore if the system is locked. |
| login.fails.cache.heap.count | 10000 | The number of login attempts kept in memory. If less than or equal to 0, it is clamped to 1000. |
| login.fails.lock.maxentries | 11000 | The maximum number of login attempts stored in the cache. If the cache is full, no more logins are allowed. Set to 0 to disable the limit. |
| login.fails.cache.disk.size | 102400 | The number of login attempts cached in the file system. Set to 0 to disable this limit, and make sure you have got sufficient disk space. Set to a value less than 0 to disable the file cache (and use only the in-memory cache). |
| last.login.save | false | Whether the most recent date when a user signed in is saved and shown for each client. |
An example for a configuration requiring a user to wait to 100 minutes after 10 failed login attempts.
login.fails.lock.timeout=6000
login.fails.lock.count=10
The number of login attempts before a user is locked out is separate for each master server and frontend server. Please note that this may change in upcoming releases.
