How to enable CAPCHA in EventLog Analyzer
Objective
CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Login CAPTCHA serves as a security measure against bot-based brute- force attacks.
You can configure whether to show CAPTCHA always or after a certain number of invalid login attempts. Apart from the CAPTCHA image, you can also enable Audio CAPTCHA. This article focuses on how to enable CAPTCHA
Prerequisites

Settings → Admin Settings → Logon Settings -> General.
Step 2: Select the Enable CAPTCHA on the login page checkbox.
Step 3: Once enabled, you will have two options,
- Option 1: Always show CAPTCHA
Select "Always show CAPTCHA", if you want users to go through CAPTCHA verification every time they login. - Option 2: Show CAPTCHA after invalid login attempts
Select "Show CAPTCHA after invalid login attempts" if you want only those users who failed at login to go through the CAPTCHA verification process. - Enter the number of invalid login attempts after which the CAPTCHA verification should appear.
- Enter the threshold (in minutes) to reset the invalid login attempts. After the specified duration, the invalid login attempts will be reset.
Step 4: Select Enable Audio CAPTCHA to assist visually impaired users.
Note: When Audio CAPTCHA is enabled, only digits will be shown in the CAPTCHA image. If a browser doesn't support audio CAPTCHA, then the default CAPTCHA image (with letters and digits) will be shown.
