Use the SECOPT system command LOGONATTEMPTS option to specify the number of times that users from MARC and CANDE stations are allowed to try to log-on. The default value for this option is 10.
After the specified number of attempts is reached
-
All log-on attempts at that station are rejected.
-
No usercodes are validated.
-
You must re-ready the station to again enable log-on attempts from the station.
To determine why the station is not responding as expected, enter a STATUS command from another station. For example, from MARC, enter
STATUS <station name>
After the STATUS command is entered, the following message is displayed:
Logon is prohibited until station is made READY.
If the value for the SECOPT LOGONATTEMPTS option is 0 (zero), the system allows an unlimited number of log-on attempts and the station does not become unready.
For more information on LOGONATTEMPTS, refer to Security Configuration.
