Limiting Logon Attempts and Setting up 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 value 3. You can set it to any value between 1 and 99 inclusive.

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

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

Maintain the system profile parameters under Tools ® CCMS ® Configuration ® Profile maintenance.

To make the parameters globally effective in an SAP 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 SAP System.
