What can I do with this system value?
If you specify a maximum number of sign-on attempts allowed, you can also specify how the system reacts when the maximum number of consecutive incorrect sign-on attempts is reached.
This system value has the following options:
- Disable device (1)
- Vary off device if limit is reached. If the controlling subsystem is in the restricted state (so that only one device in it can be used) and the device is varied off, the system is ended and control panel lights on the control panel turn on to indicate that you must restart the system.
- Disable user (2)
- Disable user profile if limit is reached. If a profile is disabled, it must be enabled again before a user can sign on.
- Disable user and device (3)
- Vary off device and disable user profile if limit is reached.
