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.
You use the Security Controls action to enable login tracking and to specify the maximum number of unsuccessful logins. Login tracking is required if you use electronic signature.
When login tracking is enabled, all successful and unsuccessful login attempts are tracked. After each successful login, the maximum number of chances to log in is reset. When users reach the maximum number, their status is changed to blocked. They are prevented from logging in until an administrator changes their status.
If implementation uses an application server to authenticate with a directory, some functions are performed in the directory and synchronized into the system. These functions include adding users (including self-registration) and managing passwords.
