Logging failed login attempts?

Post by SurveillanceVan113 »

I access my BI server remotely through UI3 and the mobile app by allowing port forwarding from the internet to my server. I see there is a way in BI to log my successful logins but unsuccessful logins are not being captured. Is there a way to enable this? I'm thinking that since my BI server is exposed to the internet (although via an obscure port) it would be nice to see if somebody was trying to break in by guessing credentials.

Under Settings -> Web server -> Advanced, make sure that Log ALL connections, not just logins is ticked. Failed login attempts should appear as below in the log file:

Code: Select all

::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: AuthFailed {"auth-exempt":false,"reason":"no matching user/pw"}
