Limiting Logon Attempts and Predefining Clients

Limiting Logon Attempts and Predefining Clients

You can use the following system profile parameters to limit the permitted number of failed logon attempts and to set the default client.

login/fails_to_session_end: This parameter specifies the number of times that a user can enter an incorrect password before the system ends the logon attempt.

Default: 3. You can set it to any value between 1 and 99.

login/fails_to_user_lock: This parameter specifies the number of times that a user can enter an incorrect password before the system locks the user against further logon attempts.

Default: 12. You can set it to any value between 1 and 99.

login/system_client: Specifies the default client. This client is automatically filled in on the system logon screen. Users can type in a different client.

You maintain the system profile parameters by choosing Tools ® CCMS, Configuration ® Profile maintenance.

To make the parameters globally effective in an R/3 System, set them in the default system profile DEFAULT.PFL. However, to make them instance-specific, you must set them in the profiles of each application server in your R/3 System.
