5.5.1 Enhanced Security logs with correct login error

Security logs capture login failure reasons. Some of the failure reasons are:
  • Invalid user
  • Invalid password
  • Expired password
The login failure messages are not shown on GUI security logs as session is not yet established. Users can see the generic failure message “Failed Login attempt” on GUI login page. There were no reasoning provided to user on GUI login page about exact cause of login failure. By implementing this enhancement, the user can ascertain the exact cause of the login failure.
