General Tab

The general system settings provide configuration options for user-related

functionality.

Authentication

Note: For both Authentication items, a lower value offers higher security, a

higher value offers more flexibility.

 Maximum Authentication Failures – determines the number of login

failures before a user is locked out of the system (each successful

authentication resets the authentication failure counter). Once locked

out of the system, the user will need to be unlocked by a system

administrator (HOTPin|Users).

Note: It will be helpful to your users if you consider how long it will

take them to log in when you set the maximum authentication

failure feature in HOTPin. This is also true for timeout settings

if you combine HOTPin with other authentication options.

While these values should only be set as long or high as is

necessary, consider that shorter duration timeout

values/fewer login attempts may lead to system lockouts on

legitimate users, especially for the first-time login where users

may require two token codes to complete the process.

 OTP look ahead value – creates a window of valid token codes that

can be used for authentication.

Token Provider

 Sent Code TTL – determines how long a token code will be valid when

sent by a custom provider.

 Send command string – requests a token code from the HOTPin server

when entered in the login page password field. If a PIN is required, the

user combines the PIN and send command string separated by a

comma (PIN,send). The command string is not case sensitive. A

maximum of 32 characters can be used. The default value is send.

Important: Changing the string to a customized value from the default

is recommended.

 Increment authentication failures when code is sent – limits the

number of times a user can be sent a token code before successful

authentication must occur. When enabled, the user's login

authentication failure counter is incremented each time a provider sends

a token code; the user will be locked out of the system if they exceed

the maximum limit as defined in the Settings : Authentication : Maximum

Authentication Failures field. The counter is reset after successful

authentication.

 Send ahead the next OTP – provides the next valid token to end users.

The provider will send another token code when a user successfully

authenticates. The advance code is held in case users can’t receive
