# Configuration for locking the user after multiple failed
# authentication attempts.
#
# The directory where the user files with the failure records are kept.
# The default is /var/run/faillock.

#
# Will log the user name into the system log if the user is not found.
# Enabled if option is present.
audit
#
# Don't print informative messages.
# Enabled if option is present.
# silent
#
# Don't log informative messages via syslog.
# Enabled if option is present.
# no_log_info
#
# Only track failed user authentications attempts for local users
# in /etc/passwd and ignore centralized (AD, IdM, LDAP, etc.) users.
# The `faillock` command will also no longer track user failed
# authentication attempts. Enabling this option will prevent a
# double-lockout scenario where a user is locked out locally and
# in the centralized mechanism.
# Enabled if option is present.
# local_users_only
#
# Deny access if the number of consecutive authentication failures
# for this user during the recent interval exceeds n tries.
# The default is 3.
deny = 50
#
# The length of the interval during which the consecutive
# authentication failures must happen for the user account
# lock out is <replaceable>n</replaceable> seconds.
# The default is 900 (15 minutes).
# security-misc note: the interval should be set to infinity if possible,
# however pam_faillock arbitrarily limits this variable to a maximum of 604800
# seconds (7 days). See
# https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/blob/539816e4a0a277dbb632412be91e482fff9d9d09/modules/pam_faillock/faillock_config.h#L59
# for details. Therefore we set this to the maximum allowable value of 7 days.
fail_interval = 604800
#
# The access will be re-enabled after n seconds after the lock out.
# The value 0 has the same meaning as value `never` - the access
# will not be re-enabled without resetting the faillock
# entries by the `faillock` command.
# The default is 600 (10 minutes).
unlock_time = never
#
# Root account can become locked as well as regular accounts.
# Enabled if option is present.
even_deny_root
#
# This option implies the `even_deny_root` option.
# Allow access after n seconds to root account after the
# account is locked. In case the option is not specified
# the value is the same as of the `unlock_time` option.
# root_unlock_time = 900
#
# If a group name is specified with this option, members
# of the group will be handled by this module the same as
# the root account (the options `even_deny_root>` and
# `root_unlock_time` will apply to them.
# By default, the option is not set.
