Configuring the Number of Login Attempts Before Lockout
A user is allowed five attempts at a password. If the user is unable to remember the password after five attempts, the account is locked. This value can be overridden by adding a line to the portal.properties file.
1. Revise the number of allowed login attempts before lockout using the portal.properties file:
Linux:
/opt/aptare/portalconf/portal.properties
Windows:
C:\opt\aptare\portalconf\portal.properties
2. Add the following line:
portal.loginAttempts=<numeric value>
3. Restart the Tomcat Portal services.
