LoginTracker Struct Reference

Detailed Description

The LoginTracker class is an optional security enhancement that can be installed in an instance of one of the authenticator classes.

The tracker caches failed attempts by peer IP address and delegates the decision to allow another attempt to application callbacks. It does not provide a built-in retry policy. A full cache reuses its oldest inserted active node. Serialize access with the server mutex and keep callbacks/dependencies alive.
