Posted

Smarter Stats limits the number of unsuccessful login attempts a user can make. By default, users will have their account temporarily locked after 10 failed login attempts and remain locked out for five minutes. System administrators can change these settings by editing the web.config file.

a) How do I change the login attempts in Smarter Stats ?

1. First, open the web.config file in Notepad. By default, this file is located in C:\Program Files\SmarterTools\SmarterStats\MRS.

2. Then, find the <add key=”Login.BruteForceDetection.TriesBeforeBlock” value=”10″ /> line of code.

3. Afterwards, the value should be adjusted to reflect the maximum number of failed attempts a user can make before being blocked.

4. Next, find the <add key=”Login.BruteForceDetection.BlockTime” value=”5″/> line of code.

5. Finally, the value should be adjusted to reflect the duration of time the block has been maintained in minutes.
