It depends on your business needs and what kind of site. For a bank, you'd want them to call. For a less important website, you might go by time. Another idea is a stepped mechanism. 3 wrong answers = 1 hour wait. 3 more wrong = 2 hour wait, 3 more wrong = 4 hour wait, etc.



thanks Jeanne!!!

yes the lockouts need to survive across the server restarts.

hi,
does anyone have any ideas for implementing the lockout after user attempts a number of times to guess user logn/password. i am getting a hard time deciding to put it in database v.s. Application context v.s. some server cache which is available in webspere.



Any Ideas?
