Limit number of login attempts until user gets blocked

Hi,

is there any chance to configure xwiki to limit the number of failed login attempts within a certain time-window and block a user once the limit is reached?

Thanks

There is nothing like this in the standard XWiki authenticator right now. You should probably create a “new feature” issue on Loading....

In the meantime I guess it should not be too hard to implement in a custom authenticator extending the standard authenticator. See https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Authentication/#HCustomAuthentication.
