Question

Locking TACACS accounts

I'm working on an account that uses TACACS+ for access to their network devices.  Our TACACS server is set to lock an account after 3 failed login attempts, which is how it works on the cisco and hp devices, but on all of the fortinet devices the TACACS accounts get locked with only 1 failed attmept.  So my question is, do the fortinet devices send multiple auth requests at once, and if so is there any way to stop this?

    debug the  tacacs  server  but I believe it's one  request every time they  press enter.
