7.17 Release Notes

Introduced Login Limit feature

This is a crucial security measure that protects accounts from unauthorized access. An administrator can set a limit for login attempts and account lock time when a user fails to log in after multiple attempts.

Added two new fields for the Login Limit feature

All the users have this feature enabled by default. On enabling the feature, if users fail to log in within the configured number of attempts, the system disables the account for the lock time configured by an administrator.

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve" showReport="false" showServerInfo="false" />

Adding this value manages errors and prevents displaying sensitive information to users.
