Brute Force detection

Brute Force Detection in Thinfinity® Workspace

The Protection tab in Thinfinity® Workspace Configuration Manager offers essential tools for managing security settings and defending against brute force attacks. It blocks login attempts on the Workspace login page after a set number of failures (default is 3). This feature is disabled by default.

To activate this feature, select the Enable brute force detection option.




Configuring the Protection tab

  • Allow Forwarding Headers: Allows reporting proxies through which the request passed using the conventional headers X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and Forwarded.
  • IP Management: Add specific IP addresses to the white or black lists to control access.
  • Login Attempt Limits: Set the maximum number of allowed failed login attempts.
  • Unblock Timer: Define the duration for which a blocked login remains restricted before being unlocked.

These settings help strengthen security and protect against unauthorized access.
