How to stop brute force attacks on Qlikview Access Point?
We use Windows Active Directory for Qlikview Access point authentication. Even though we have added a AD password lockout policy, user logins does not get locked out when a brute force attack on Access Point. Is there a special way to add AD password lockout policy to work with Qlikview? Or is there other ways to stop brute force attacks?
I don't know how the authentication is implemented and if there is a forward and backward communication between QlikView and the AD available and which settings it might need (in QlikView as well as within the network in regards to open ports and similar stuff).
Another theoretically option which I could imagine may exists (again I don't know) might be to activate within QlikView a measurement which stops the login after n times and/or increasing the time between possible logins or similar stuff. It would be not perfect in regard to your question but would preventing a massive brute force attack.
A further possibility may be to implement a SSO solution which would completely remove the necessity of a QlikView login.
