We are using LDAP accounts in our self-managed Gitlab. A GitLab account could be locked due to an excessive amount of unsuccessful sign in attempts. We have found that an excessive amount of unsuccessful https authentication attempts also makes the account locked.
It makes sense. But, what's troubling us is that it seems if a user doesn't sign in for several days, the account gets blocked too. Some of our Gitlab users don't sign in on the Gitlab page. They simply use git pull and git push with https. If the account gets blocked, the https authentication fails too. It annoys them if they have to sign in from time to time.
Is is possible to disable Gitlab from locking an account if the user does not sign in for days?
