The Delay Bind Response Failure Lockout Action is used to delay the response to any successful or failed bind attempt for users with too many failed authentication attempts.
The Delay Bind Response Failure Lockout Action component inherits from the Failure Lockout Action

| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Indicates whether to delay the response for authentication attempts even if that delay may block the thread being used to process the attempt. If the server delays the response to an LDAP bind, it can do so without blocking the worker thread used to process that bind. However, this is not possible for binds initiated by non-LDAP clients, like those using HTTP-based communication. Delaying the response for HTTP-based authentication attempts may block the request handler thread being used to process that request, which can increase the risk of denial-of-service attacks by malicious clients that flood the server with invalid authentication attempts. If you enable a delay for non-LDAP binds, you may wish to increase the value of the num-request-handlers property in all enabled HTTP connection handlers. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
