PAC Login Retries Dialog Box

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Profiles, PAC, Login retries (system level only).

Use this dialog box to set a limit on the number of times a patron can attempt to log in to the PAC without success. At the first attempt, the system starts timing the attempts to log-in. When the limit has been reached or 5 minutes have passed from the first attempt with no successful log-in, a message appears and the patron must wait 5 minutes before trying to log in again. See Controlling Patron Account Login & Access.

• Enable limits on login retries - Select this option to limit log-in retries.

• Number of retries allowed - Set the number of attempts allowed (5-99).

These settings applies to the following PAC applications:

• Polaris PowerPAC - Main log-in page, hold request page

• Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition - Hold request page

• Mobile PAC - Main log-in page
