The variable PASSWORD_ATTEMPTS, as well as the variables DEFAULT_USER and ACCESS_FILE, affects AcuServer access security.
PASSWORD_ATTEMPTS holds a positive integer value specifying the total number of password validation attempts a requester is allowed before a connection attempt is terminated. The default value is three. If a value of less than one is given, the value one ("1") is used. If a non-integer value is given, the default value ("3") is used.
