CA Top Secret uses a password violation threshold to prevent users from continually guessing at an ACID’s password. This threshold is set with the PTHRESH control option. Once the PTHRESH option has been set, CA Top Secret will count each incorrect password attempt. The password violation threshold will be applied system-wide, and can range from 1 - 254. The default is 3.
Once the user enters the correct password for the ACID, CA Top Secret will reset the violations counter to 0. If the user exceeds the password violation threshold, then the ACID will be suspended. A suspended ACID can only be reinstated by a security administrator, using the TSS REMOVE SUSPEND function. Again, once the ACID is no longer suspended, CA Top Secret will reset the violations counter to 0. For more information on the PTHRESH control option, refer to the Control Options Guide.
