Unable to implement Account lockout policy

edited Nov 19, 2024 10:41PM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

I'm trying to Implement some account lockout policy on our Linux systems using the STIG standard and also implement 2fa with duo. However, I am not getting the desired result.

Firstly, when i enter the wrong password, push notifications still get sent to my device which is not supposed to be.

Secondly, When i do 6 intentional wrong logins within 15 minutes, the account is supposed to get locked but that's not the case. I am able to login and on successful login, I'm informed that there were 6 failed login attempts since last successful login.

How can i get fix this.

Here is my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file content
