Multiple Login Limits

Postby nav101 » Thu Jan 21, 2010 4:53 pm

We have to test a website and it allows multiple logins, but when we do a lot of work on it we get a message like "Sorry, too many attempts by this account...please try later"...

What can we do about this?

This question is less about eValid in LoadTest mode than it is about the servers to which eValid is applying load.

We've seen this kind of response come up on, for example, a web based email system. The server supporting that email system evidently wants to prevent a "denial of service attack" through multiple uses of the same login by throttling how many messages per second -- or per minute -- are allowed to originate from that email account.

Usually when we seen this we overcome the limitation by increasing the total number of different email accounts. Once we split things up so every eValid process has its OWN email account then we never see that "sorry, don't overload me" message coming from the server.
