Technical Tip: How to change threshold and duration for administrators

The lockout duration in minutes after the failed login threshold is reached by default is 3 minutes, and the number of failed login attempts before being locked out is 4 attempts.

It is possible to change the threshold and duration for the administrator account as below.

Log in to CLI and execute the following command:

config system global

    set admin-lockout-duration 10 <----- Duration for lockout.

    set admin-lockout-threshold 5 <----- Number of attempts.

end
