Description

CA VM:Director creates journal entries when it detects a user ID issuing 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:Director prevents further attempts until the JOURNAL RESET command is issued. CA VM:Director automatically resets journal counters when the password is correctly entered.

The JOURNAL command only monitors invalid logon passwords entered while issuing CA VM:Director commands (VMXLOGON) and invalid link passwords entered from the User Selection screen option, Define a Link to Another User’s Minidisk (VMXLINK).
