However, you can use external tools like [fail2ban](http://www.fail2ban.org) to avoid massive scans. - -Configuration -------------- - -Default settings can be changed with these configuration variables: - -```php -// Enable captcha after 3 authentication failure -define('BRUTEFORCE_CAPTCHA', 3); - -// Lock the account after 6 authentication failure -define('BRUTEFORCE_LOCKDOWN', 6); - -// Lock account duration in minutes -define('BRUTEFORCE_LOCKDOWN_DURATION', 15); -``` - -Unlocking users ---------------- - -If you don't want to wait 15 minutes, you can unlock a user from the user interface. -As administrator, go to the user profile and click on "Unlock this user". |
