logging into navision

Eugene

one of our clients requires (as a security measure) to log unsuccessful attempts to login into navision.

Is there a way to do it or at least limit the number (let's say 3 times) of attempts user can mistype his password when trying to log in ?

I don't think you can, because Navision will only execute Codeunit 1, when a user is successfully logged into Navision. And as you can't write code on the Login-dialog, this means you are stuck.

This is as far as I know not possible with Navision, the C/AL code is triggered after a user has logged in to the system.

Maybe you can make some external control to monitor the login action.

i understand that user cannot write into the navision database without prior logging into it, but maybe navision server itself is logging failed attempts to connect to it in some system tables or in a text file or somewhere else ?

No, sorry.

Navision does not do any logging of log in at all.

Logging of failed attempts is only possible on sql server if you have the sql server option running.
in the properties of the sqlserver in enterprise manager you can set some logging options on tab security.
they will be logged in application log of the event viewer.

You could use "Windows Authentication" if you have Navision Native.
