Thread: Failed PW retries

Greetings,

  When the ODBC driver gets back a failed login it seems to retry the
  same username/password 4 times, then tries with user 'admin', then
  tries again with the original username before prompting the user to
  enter a new password.

  Is there any way to change this behaviour?  Our PG system is set up to
  lock-out accounts after 3 failed login tries and so this is kind of a
  problem.

  We're using pam in pg_hba.conf and pam_radius_auth in the
  pam.d/postgres config, though I don't think those matter as we see
  multiple attempts in the Postgres log itself (and don't see these
  duplicated attempts when connecting with psql or similar).

      Thanks,

        Stephen

FYI, we were able to stop the "Admin" login by setting TryJetAuth=0 in
the registry.  But are still baffled why access is getting an auth
failed 4 times before even trying to prompt the user for a password.

Anyone else ever experience a similar issue with one-time passwords?

Thanks,
