User Administration: Password Expiration and Login Attempts


Florian Graf (611) | asked Nov 19 '08, 6:56 a.m.
Dear Community,
Our Jazz Server is using the internal stand-alone User Administration. To comply to certain security policies I need to configure a password expiration which locks the account when expired and a maximum count of login attempts.
How could I implement that?

Thanks for your help

The Jazz/RTC server does not handle the authentication of the users, but
the application server itself does. It sounds like you are using the
bundled Tomcat install. It's unlikely, but perhaps Tomcat allows you to
configure maximum login attempts or password expirations, you could ask
in a Tomcat forum to see.

If Tomcat doesn't allow it, the next best approach would be to setup a
LDAP server that does let you configure the behavior you want and
re-configure the Jazz/RTC server to use the LDAP server for
authentication instead of Tomcat's built-in registry.
