Reset login count
Confluence records the number of failed logins attempts made against each user account. When the login attempts exceed a preset number, the user is prompted to authenticate using CAPTCHA until they successfully log in.
If the user you're administering has any failed login attempts, you can manually set the failed login count for a user back to zero by clicking Reset Failed Login Count.
Multiple user directories
Here is a summary of how the directory order affects the processing:
- The order of the directories is the order in which they will be searched for users and groups.
- Changes to users and groups will be made only in the first directory where the application has permission to make changes.
