Add a column in your user table for the number of bad login attempts. Every time there is a failed login for that user, increment the value. Do not allow that user to login if their failed count has exceeded your threshold. REMEMBER to zero it back out when they log in successfully.
Of course, this approach will require some method for them to unlock their account. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: how to detect user login attempts From: "Nathan Chen" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, October 20, 2009 3:34 pm To: cf-talk <[email protected]> Hi, All: This might have been asked but I am not experienced CF programmer so I need help. I am building a login module that requires detecting user login attempts. After the user fails after three tries, the acct will be suspended. Has anything been done, e.g, tags, components, custom tag? Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
