The UserService has a user lockout feature which locks out a user after a certain number of failed login attempts. This feature protects the Niagara system from an attacker gaining entry by "brute force" or by trying to guess users' passwords.
Note
User Lock Out is enabled by default
To enable User Lock Out
- Navigate to the station UserService's proerty sheet
- Set "Lock Out Enabled" property to true
- Configure other Lock Out properties as desired:
- Lock Out Period: (How long the user gets locked out)
- Max Bad Logins Before Lock Out: (number of login failures before a user is locked out)
- Lock Out Window: (user is locked out only if the number of maximum failures is reached within this time window)
