Failed Login Attempts parameter

От

Hi,

I've been searching the web and reviewing documentation, but I cannot find any reference to whether or not a parameter, for example, failed_login_attempts, exists in PostgreSQL that determines the number of attempts a user can make before being locked.  In addition, if such a parameter or similar setup exists, is there also some database object that provides a current count of the failed login attempts?

Thanks,
Frank

There is not in the core database code.  But if you use PAM
authentication, there are plenty of pluggable modules that do that and
ninety-nine other specialized things you might wish to have in the
authentication code path.
