Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Q. Why am I getting continuous login failures in the event log on my Codian product?

A. Messages similar to the following in your Event log indicate that someone is trying to access FTP on the unit.

17307 2007/04/04 11:52:50.673 FTP Info Session 0

Login failed, user 'ADMINISTRATOR'

17308 2007/04/04 11:52:50.865 FTP Info Session 0

Login failed, user 'ADMINISTRATOR'

17309 2007/04/04 11:52:51.047 FTP Info Session 0

Login failed, user 'ADMINISTRATOR'

Attempts usually use standard usernames such as 'ADMINISTRATOR'. Each attempt has a different password. To prevent even the small chance of unauthorized access, disable the FTP port while you are not using it (go to Network > Services and untick the FTP check box).
