Configuring a Brute-Force Attack Protection

Protection from a brute-force attack is configured per brand, therefore you need to first prepare a brand to set up brute-force attack protection.

To set up a brute-force attack protection, complete the following steps:

  1. In Operations PCP, go to Services > Identity Service > Brute-force Protection.
  2. Select a brand for which you want to configure the protection.
  3. Enable the protection by selecting the Enable brute-force attacks protection option.
  4. Specify the following parameters:

    • Period for failed login tracking (minutes): the time period (in minutes) during which the system tracks failed log-in attempts.
    • User lockout threshold (minutes): the maximum number of authentication attempts after which a user is blocked.
    • User lockout period (minutes): the time period (in minutes) for which a user is blocked due to too many failed log-in attempts.
