    • LDAP Authentication

    • Confirmation Number

  3. Under Details enter a number for the following:

    • Confirmation Number Length

    • Maximum Failed Login Attempts

      This is the number of failed login attempts before the user account is disabled. When the user is locked out, an email is sent that contains a link to unlock the user’s account.

      Note: Users can also be unlocked by:
      - Selecting the Users tab.
      - Selecting the locked out user.
      - Deselecting the Locked Out checkbox.

  4. Under Mobile App Login Retention, if Retain Login Credentials is enabled, and Expiration Time (days) is set, when the expiration time is reached, the user will be logged out of the mobile app and will automatically log in using their retained credentials.

  5. Under Confirmation Number Expiration and Reset, if the checkbox for enabled is selected and a number of days is set, the confirmation number will expire within that number of days.

    The expiration time is the total number of days since the confirmation number was created or last reset. When the confirmation number expires, the system will generate an email notification for enabled users containing a new confirmation number.

  6. Click Save.
