Too Many Connections per Site

You can define an Event Rule to send you an e-mail when a user login fails because there are too many connections to a Site. If the Rule is triggered frequently, you might want to change the maximum concurrent socket connections setting for the Site and/or purchase more licenses for the Web Transfer Client.

To define the Event Rule

1. Define an Event Rule  using the User Login Failed Event trigger. The Event trigger appears in the Rule Builder.

2. In the Conditions list, double-click if Event Reason (or click it, then click Add condition) to add it to the Rule.

3. In the Rule Builder, click the linked text [specific reason]. The Event Reason dialog box appears.

4. Click the Specify the event reason drop-down menu to specify a reason that will trigger the Event Rule:

   • Account Disabled

   • Account Locked Out

   • Invalid password

   • Protocol not supported

   • Restricted IP

   • Too many connections per IP

   • Too many connections per Site

   • Too many connections per user

   For this example, click Too many connections per Site.

5. Click OK.

6. In the Actions list, double-click Send notification email (or click it, then click Add action) to add it to the Rule.

7. In the Rule Builder, click the linked text [select] and configure an e-mail to send yourself a notification (or link to your defined e-mail template) then click OK.

8. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
