With the latest update of Lepide Active Directory Self Service (LADSS) 20.1, administrators can now block users that enter multiple incorrect passwords for a specified period of time; potentially preventing brute force attacks or compromised user accounts from authenticating.

Administrators can specify when the user is unblocked and can also unblock a user manually to prevent unnecessary downtime and disruption.

In addition to this new security feature, Lepide Active Directory Self Service now supports a connection to LDAPS (which Lepide recommends always be configured), multifactor authentication, a newly designed user interface, and a multi-layer security structure.
