Hi.

On my installation it seems the default values for the global password
policy includes the following:

$ ipa pwpolicy-show
  Group: global_policy
…
  Max failures: 6
  Failure reset interval: 60
  Lockout duration: 600

Does anyone actually employ this max. failures/lockout functionality
(i.e. not disable it)?  Maybe you have found more useful values than
the above defaults?

If you do use the above functionality, don't you find your users
getting DoS'd by script-kiddie brute-force password cracking attempts?

On the face of it, I can see what these parameters are attempting to
achieve, but in the real world they do so at the expense of locking
legitimate users out of their accounts.

So I'm just wondering how people deal with that.

Cheers,
b.
