Expand/Collapse item  Overview

Enabling intruder detection locks a user out of the system when a certain number of logon attempts fails. This prevents unauthorized users from trying numerous passwords while attempting to access your system.

  • You must be logged on as the Administrator or have been given security permissions by an Administrator to access User Maintenance.

 

To enable intruder detection and specify lockout duration

  1. Select Library Master Setup menu > System Configuration.

  2. Select the Lock Out User... check box. For more information, see System Configuration - Fields.

  3. In the Attempts field, type the number of attempts you will allow before a user is locked out of the system (cannot attempt to log on anymore).

  4. To specify an optional lockout duration, select the Unlock User... check box, and in the Minutes field, type the amount of time you want the lockout to be in effect. After the amount of time has passed, the user can attempt to access the system.

    Note     If you do not specify a locked duration, a user locked out by intruder detection can only attempt to log back into the system if the User Account Locked check box is cleared in the User Maintenance window.

  5. Click Accept.

Intruder detection is enabled.
