Where I work, we use Active Directory/LDAP for authentication. Most servers I log into use this, and it's mostly convenient. One issue I've run into is the "three strikes and you're out!" rule. If I use a wrong password three times, I get locked out of everything. Can't get email, can't log into servers, can't use WiFi, and other things that use AD/LDAP. To fix the problem, one can call the help desk to get your password reset, or just wait more than 30 minutes for the lock out to expire.
Today when I tried to log into a server that I'd not logged into for a long while, with YummyFTP, I got locked out. I tried to log in ONCE with YummyFTP, not 3 times. Once. How does YummyFTP (version 1.10.2.b6 on Yosemite 10.10.2) do its logins? Is there a retry setup? Can I alter it?
I suspect there is no retry setup in YummyFTP, and that our stupid AD/LDAP server is hosed. Just in case, I'd like to know how YummyFTP works.
Thanks
