Maximum failed password attempts before disable delay must be set to 3 or less.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The Maximum failed attempts before disable delay is not set to 3. This specifies the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts the Hardware Management Console allows as 3 times, before setting a 60-minute delay to attempt to retry the password. The improper setting of any of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. Note: The Hardware Management Console does not allow a revoke of a userID. A 60- minute delay time setting is being substituted.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Systems Programmer</Responsibility><IAControls>ECLO-1, ECLO-2</IAControls>
