Checking Failed Logins in the Audit Log

Every login attempt on the Reach portal is logged in the Audit Log. 

Identifying failed logins

If you have a user that is experiencing login failures to your Reach portal you can quickly identify why they are having a problem by looking at the Audit Log.
  1.  Go to Dashboards > Audit Log
  2.  Search for "failed" in the Auth module
This will display any failed logins on your portal for the date range selected.  The reason for each failed login attempt can be easily detected from this data by checking the "Who" column of your audit log records.
  1. When a name is displayed in the Who column this will indicate the username has been entered correctly but the password has been entered incorrectly.
  2. When the word SYSTEM appears in the Who column, this will indicate that the username has been entered incorrectly.
Clicking on any individual record will open the details of that record in the right hand side sidebar of the Audit log. This detail will confirm the reason for the failed login attempt.
