MaximumLoginAttempts

Sets the maximum number of failed user login attempts permissible on the server.

If you do not include MaximumLoginAttempts in Tm1s.cfg, by default, the server allows three login attempts.

Parameter type: optional, dynamic

For example, if you add the line MaximumLoginAttempts=5 to Tm1s.cfg, the server enforces a limit of five failed login attempts per user. If a user does not successfully log in to the Cognos® TM1® server within the specified number of attempts, the server issues an error.

After a user has exceeded the specified maximum number of failed login attempts, the Cognos TM1 server rejects any subsequent login attempts by the user.

The MaximumLoginAttempts parameter is enforced per server session. If a user exceeds the maximum number of attempts, he cannot log in to the current Cognos TM1 server session, unless the Cognos TM1 administrator changes his password. However, after the Cognos TM1 server recycles, the user can log in with his existing password.
