Implementing additional security

You can implement additional security measures to protect your organization, including login tracking, setting encryption properties, and safeguarding against intrusion and malicious attacks.

  • Login tracking
    You use login tracking to specify the number of allowed login attempts. You can track the number of login attempts and view the current login status for a user. You can also block further attempted logins by a user who exceeds the specified number.
  • Encrypting properties for security
    You can encrypt properties in the maximo.properties file to provide additional security. The properties that are encrypted have maxprop.encrypted=1 on the database.
  • Prevention of intrusion and malicious attacks
    Malicious users can attempt to breach security by attacking the login, forgotten password, and self-registration processes, for example to initiate denial-of-service attacks. Hackers can also target browser and HTTP vulnerabilities to initiate cross site request forgeries (CSRF) attacks.
