<div>That's it. A value of -1 should allow unlimited retries, at least in the MCB logic, individual auth modules could do there own thing. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just be aware that logic had a bug at one point. GitHub may have an issue listed about it. </div>

<div>I find the following in multi-context-broker.xml - is that the place to change? Does a value of -1 create an unsafe vulnerability?

<div>There's an option for max fails in the MCB config. Set it to a higher value or disable it. I think there was a bug in some versions where the disabled option was not honored but setting it to 999 would definitely work. </div>
