1# Configuration for locking the user after multiple failed
2# authentication attempts.
3#
4# The directory where the user files with the failure records are kept.
5# The default is /var/run/faillock.
6# dir = /var/run/faillock
7#
8# Will log the user name into the system log if the user is not found.
9# Enabled if option is present.
10# audit
11#
12# Don't print informative messages.
13# Enabled if option is present.
14# silent
15#
16# Don't log informative messages via syslog.
17# Enabled if option is present.
18# no_log_info
19#
20# Only track failed user authentications attempts for local users
21# in /etc/passwd and ignore centralized (AD, IdM, LDAP, etc.) users.
22# The `faillock` command will also no longer track user failed
23# authentication attempts. Enabling this option will prevent a
24# double-lockout scenario where a user is locked out locally and
25# in the centralized mechanism.
26# Enabled if option is present.
27# local_users_only
28#
29# Deny access if the number of consecutive authentication failures
30# for this user during the recent interval exceeds n tries.
31# The default is 3.
32deny = 5
33#
34# The length of the interval during which the consecutive
35# authentication failures must happen for the user account
36# lock out is <replaceable>n</replaceable> seconds.
37# The default is 900 (15 minutes).
38# fail_interval = 300
39#
40# The access will be re-enabled after n seconds after the lock out.
41# The value 0 has the same meaning as value `never` - the access
42# will not be re-enabled without resetting the faillock
43# entries by the `faillock` command.
44# The default is 600 (10 minutes).
45unlock_time = 300
46#
47# Root account can become locked as well as regular accounts.
48# Enabled if option is present.
49# even_deny_root
50#
51# This option implies the `even_deny_root` option.
52# Allow access after n seconds to root account after the
53# account is locked. In case the option is not specified
54# the value is the same as of the `unlock_time` option.
55# root_unlock_time = 900
56#
57# If a group name is specified with this option, members
58# of the group will be handled by this module the same as
59# the root account (the options `even_deny_root>` and
60# `root_unlock_time` will apply to them.
61# By default, the option is not set.
