Note: The brute force limitation is defaulted to initial shipment state values when the cloudAshur is completely
reset, or self-destruct feature is activated, or brute forced. If Admin changes the User PIN, or a new User PIN is set
when activating the recovery feature, the User PIN brute force counter is zeroed (0) but the brute force limitation is
not affected. If Admin changes the Recovery PIN, the Recovery PIN brute force counter is zeroed.
Successful authorisation of a certain PIN will zero the brute force counter for that particular PIN, but not affect the
other PINs brute force counter. Failed authorisation of a certain PIN will increase the brute force counter for that
particular PIN, but not affect the other PINs brute force counter.
34. How to set the User PIN Brute Force Limitation
Note: The User PIN brute force limitation setting is defaulted to 10 consecutive incorrect PIN entries when
the cloudAshur is either completely reset, brute forced or the self-destruct PIN is activated.
The brute force limitation for the cloudAshur User PIN can be reprogrammed and set by the administrator. This feature can be
set to allow attempts from 1 to 10 consecutive incorrect PIN entries.
To configure the User PIN brute force limitation, first enter the "Admin Mode" as described in section 5. Once the
cloudAshur is in Admin Mode (solid
