  2. Select the number of attempts allowed from the list.
  3. Click Set Failed Login Limit.

Configuring a Lockout Period for CTPView Users (CTPView)

Clearing CTPView User Counters (CTPView)

Two counters are associated with each CTPView user. One counter tracks the number of failed login attempts. This counter is automatically reset to zero after a successful login. The other counter tracks the number of reminders that a user receives to change the user password. This counter is automatically reset after the user has selected a new password. When either counter exceeds the allowed limit, the user is locked out of CTPView access.

  1. From the Admin Center, select Login/Logout > Clear Counters.
  2. Select the user from the list.
  3. Click Clear Counters.
