Block Ip address After X number of failed SSL-VPN Login attempts from said source IP addr.

Exactly as the title says. I have searched the forums and havent found anything that does this. Its either "use the admin lockout settings" or blocks after the first failed attempt, which will create and excess number of trouble tickets from end users if that is the case. I need the automation to check if the ip address has multiple failed attempts before adding the address to the block list. 

We do not have a fortianalyzer at this time. Is this possible without one or is a FortiAnalyzer required for this type of automation.

config vpn ssl settings
set login-attempt-limit 3
set login-block-time 300

end

 

should do the trick

Will this block the ip address. This is in response to brute force attempts coming from a vast random list of usernames. and as such needs blocked via Ip address permanently after X number of failed attempts from an ip address.

Follow this article which tells how to use automation stitch for admin login. I believe there will be a trigger for ssl-vpn logon fail (article is for admin login fail)
