Hello,

I'm looking for a feature of CAS 6.3 that will allow me to lock or limit 
users after a few failed login attempts. I have tried the failure throttling 
<https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.3.x/installation/Configuring-Authentication-Throttling.html#failure-throttling>
 
module but find it confusing and not quite what I'm looking for.

The failure throttling module seems like it can only detect 2 auth failures 
if the second one comes in very quickly (fast enough to be caught by the 
defined threshold per secondRange rate). If someone slows down their 
authentication attempts so they occur once every second, they'll never be 
caught right? Also, 3 failed attempts over 15 seconds has the same effect 
as 2 failed attempt over 10 seconds, so if you only fail 2, you won't be 
allowed to try a third time. 

Is there another feature that would let me define an actual amount of 
failed logins over a period of time instead of a rate?
