Cutting over to AAM from Call Pilot next week and have tried to change the invalid login attempts to (5) instead of the default (3), to alleviate additional trouble calls. No matter what I change invalid login attempts value, the system logs me out after (3) attempts. Is there another field I am not changing to make this work?
Thanks in advance!!

It does do the same thing as yours. I never had anyone ask that before.

I think I misunderstood core issue at first. But I personally would not want someone to be able to keep pounding in passwords to hack a mailbox.

Thank you Ken for taking the time and verifying the "invalid logins". Understanding the security aspect, I do however feel it should be at the administrators discrection as to how many invalid login attempts a user has before being logged out. From a feature standpoint, this is going in a backword direction.

Oh I agree 100% that a lot of this is going backwards
