Configuring Common Login Locations

Scenarios

Common login locations are the geographical locations where normal users often log in to servers.

HSS monitors the logins of all server accounts, dynamically identifies and adds common login locations, and generates remote login alarms for uncommon login locations. Up to four common login locations can be dynamically added for each server. After HSS protection is enabled, no alarms will be generated for the location where a user performs the first login. Common login locations include:

• Locations where more than 10 logins occurred.
• Locations where two logins occurred during four consecutive logins.

HSS automatically adds common login locations, and allows you to add up to 10 locations. HSS will not generate alarms for the logins from these locations.

This section describes how to manually configure common login locations.
