CA VM:Secure creates journal entries when it detects a user entering an invalid password. If the number of consecutive invalid attempts exceeds the limit specified on the JOURNAL record in the SECURITY CONFIG file, CA VM:Secure prevents further attempts until the JOURNAL RESET command is issued. CA VM:Secure automatically resets journal counters when the password is correctly entered.
When the Rules Facility is installed, CA VM:Secure handles consecutive invalid AUTOLOG, XAUTOLOG, or LINK attempts differently. If the number of invalid tries exceeds the maximum limit specified on the JOURNAL record, CA VM:Secure clears the journal counter and creates a rule for the target user ID, preventing further attempts from the requesting user ID.
If the Rules Facility is not implemented, the JOURNAL command only monitors the LOGON command by displaying or resetting invalid logon passwords entered while issuing CA VM:Secure commands (VMXLOGON) and invalid link passwords entered from the User Selection screen option, Define a Link to Another User’s Minidisk (VMXLINK).
