Lockout settings for cXML (embedded HTTP) users
You can set the number of times a cXML user can attempt to connect with an invalid password to an embedded HTTP server before Activator locks out the user. This is a safeguard against possible efforts by unauthorized users to access the server.
The user is locked out for a specified number of minutes. The user must wait until the lockout interval expires, unless an administrator unlocks the user before the interval ends.
