5.5.1 Enhanced Security logs with correct log in error

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