Description Dirk Ahrnke

2020-06-16 10:45:49 CEST

chapter 6.6.3 states:
"The default policy is designed so that five repeated failed LDAP server logon attempts within five minutes cause the lockout."

The default defines pwdFailureCountInterval to 900 seconds.

This bug hasn't seen any update for several years. I close it.

If you still see a need for it, you can reopen the bug. Please add an argumentation about why it's important to take care of it.

the documentation is still wrong

https://docs.software-univention.de/manual/latest/en/user-management/user-lockout.html#openldap
"The default policy is designed so that five repeated failed LDAP server login attempts within five minutes cause the lockout."

UCS: 5.0-7 errata1023
# univention-ldapsearch -LLL objectclass=pwdPolicy pwdFailureCountInterval
dn: cn=default,cn=ppolicy,cn=univention,dc=schule-univention,dc=intranet
pwdFailureCountInterval: 900

If I am not wrong 900 seconds ist 15 minutes.
