Thanks for the link, Kyle! Yes, that’s exactly what’s happening here and what I 
suspected because PC Reservation does not require the Koha password in order to 
create a session, so I figured Koha was reacting to that and counting it as a 
failed login attempt.

But yes, despite the note in the bug, I can confirm that is happening on our 
instance that is using 18.11.10. I tested it this morning several times.

That shouldn't be happening on 18.11.10, here is the relevant bug:

Hi all,

I've stumbled upon an issue with my library's setup involving Koha 18.11.10 and 
Envisionware's PC Reservation, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or a 
misconfiguration on our part. If anyone has any tips or feedback, I'd really 
appreciate it!

We use SIP to authenticate patrons who wish to create a computer session via PC 
Reservation. We also have the Koha FailedLoginAttempts preference set so that 
an account is locked after X failed login attempts.

But I'm noticing that the borrowers.login_attempts field is increased by 1 each 
time a user logs on to our public computers even if the login is successful on 
the first attempt. That is, when I create a computer session successfully, the 
login_attempts count in the borrowers table is increased regardless. I noticed 
this after doing maintenance on several computers that required me to log in 
via PC Reservation. When I went to log in to the staff client later, my account 
had been locked out.

Has anyone else experienced this?
