Hi all,
Using IG 8.1.33 and today I was locked out of a gateway. There are 337 log entries stating I have been locked out. We have disabled and reenabled the lockout on the user source profile and I now have access again. But I'm curious why I was locked out to begin with. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Is your system exposed to the internet?
Then a random bad guy on the internet found your server and attacked it, most likely. There are armies of malware constantly looking for vulnerable servers. Seems the lockout function did its job. You should study the logs for patterns in the source addresses of the failed login attempts.
