Enabling Administrator/User Lockout

You can configure the SonicWall security appliance to lockout an administrator or a user if the login credentials are incorrect.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: If an administrator and a user are logging into the SonicWall using the same source IP address, the administrator is also locked out of the SonicWall. The lockout is based on the source IP address of the user and administrator.
