When login attempts fail (OpenCms 7.5.0) the account will be blocked, at
least the dialog says so.

How long lasts this blocking ?

How can one reset the blocking immediately? A flag in the database?

Hi Christian, Hi Christoph,

per default an user is disabled for 15 minutes after three bad attempts. But you can
configure this in the opencms-system.xml. Between the nodes <validationhandler> and
<sites> you can configure the node <loginmanager>. In the following example an user
is disabled for 20 minutes after five bad attempts:

<loginmanager>
  <disableMinutes>20</disableMinutes>
  <maxBadAttempts>5</maxBadAttempts>
</loginmanager>


A blocked user has to wait the configured time in <disableMinutes>, before he can login
again.

If you want to switch off that an user is disabled after bad attempts, you have to set
the value in <maxBadAttempts> to -1.

Kind Regards,
Mario.
