==================

Hello

We are trying to configure the Participant Lock Out via either config-defaults.php or config.php (tried both files).

Default Value in config-default.php is
Code:
$config['maxLoginAttemptParticipants']    = 30; // Lock them out after 3 attempts $config['timeOutParticipants']        = 60 * 10; // Lock them out for 10 minutes.

We want to change these values (lets say 10 Attempts and 3min Lock-Out), but somehow they are not active afterwards. It still locks the participants out for 10 Minutes after 3 attempts.


Last part where I tried to configure in config.php:
Code:
        'config'=>array(         // debug: Set this to 1 if you are looking for errors. If you still get no errors after enabling this         // then please check your error-logs - either in your hosting provider admin panel or in some /logs directory         // on your webspace.         // LimeSurvey developers: Set this to 2 to additionally display STRICT PHP error messages and get full access to standard templates                 'debug'=>0,                 'debugsql'=>0, // Set this to 1 to enanble sql logging, only active when debug = 2                 // Mysql database engine (INNODB|MYISAM):                  'mysqlEngine' => 'MYISAM',                // Update default LimeSurvey config here                 'maxLoginAttemptParticipants'=>'10', // Lock them out after 10 attempts                 'timeOutParticipants'=>'60*2', // Lock them out for 2 minutes.         ) );



Is there maybe another step I'm missing for it to activate? (Webserver has been restarted)

Thank you in advance for any info.

Oh man, Thank you!

Couldn't see the forest for the trees after all the searching in 3 year old posts I would say :-)
