BO 4.1.4 General Supervisor.
I have set the number of logins allowed after password expiration to 10
(Tools --> Options --> General Supervisor) but if I give a wrong password I
get the message ‘You have only 2 more attempts left’ and the login is
disabled after 3 wrong passwords. How can I set this value to 10 ?
Thank you for your help

There is just one way (I know) to change the number of login trials or
to disable this counting: you’ve got to insert/update a row in the
table obj_m_genpar !
SQL Code: insert into obj_m_genpar values (117, 1, 0, 0, xxx, ‘’)
xxx => The number of login attempts allowed (0 = infinite)
For more info: repository table documentation is included on every
BusinessObjects CD => /freeware/repostry/rpindex.htm.

We just posted a tech note on our web site that talks about a “behind the
scenes” way of setting the password “hack” limit to whatever value you need.
In the case on our web site, the value is set to unlimited.
You should be able to pull up the article directly by using the URL:
As you already wrote: this is the “number of logins allowed after password
expiration”, and therefore something different from “wrong password logins”.
The number of retries after wrong password entries can only be set in the “global
parameters table” in the security repository. Have a look into the description of
the repository tables (on CD in folder: freeware). It’s the OBJ_M_GENPAR table.
