Getting Started
That user cannot sign in until either you reverse the above
procedure and uncheck the box, or you change the value of the
ek_loginAttempts element in the web.config file to -1.
Disabling the Login Attempts Feature
NOTE
To disable the Login Attempts feature, set the value of the
ek_loginAttempts element in the web.config file to -1. If you do, any
user can try to log in as many times as he wants. The error
message will never appear, and he will never be prevented from
entering a password.
Setting the value of the ek_loginAttempts element in the web.config file to -1
automatically unlocks all locked accounts.
Preventing CMS Users from Signing On
NOTE
If you want to lock out all CMS users, set the ek_loginAttempts
element in the web.config file to -2. If you do, only membership
users can sign in.
The builtin user cannot sign in if ek_loginAttempts is set to -2.
Preventing All Users from Signing On
NOTE
If you want to lock out all users (including membership users), set
the ek_loginAttempts element in the web.config file to 0. If you do,
no one can sign in to Ektron CMS400.NET until you change the
value.
The builtin user cannot sign in if ek_loginAttempts is set to 0.
