Check Content

Verify the Ivanti MobileIron Core server is configured to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user during a 15-minute time period.

In the Core server, navigate to the following: Settings >> Security >> Password Policy.

Verify the number of failed attempts is set to 3 and Auto-Lock Time is set to 900 seconds.

If the number of failed attempts is not set to 3 and Auto-Lock Time is not set to 900 seconds, this is a finding.
