Computer-implemented method, system, and program product for managing log-in strikes
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing log-in strikes, comprising:
- receiving a strike message on a strikeout server pursuant to an incorrect password input during an attempted log-in of a user;
comparing the incorrect password to a list to determine if the incorrect password was previously received on the strikeout server during a predetermined period of time;
storing the incorrect password in the list on the strikeout server with a corresponding timestamp; and
replicating the strike message and the timestamp to at least one other strikeout server.

Abstract
The present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, and program product for managing log-in strikes in a geographically distributed computer infrastructure. Specifically, under the present invention, when a strike message is received on a strikeout server pursuant to an incorrect password input during an attempted log-in of a user, the incorrect password is compared to a strike list to determine if it was previously received on the strikeout server during a predetermined period of time. Based on this determination, the incorrect password and will be stored in a list on the strikeout server with a corresponding timestamp. Thereafter, the strike message and the timestamp will be replicated to all other strikeout servers in the infrastructure.
