When an SFTP Lockout Policy is configured, we can specify the number of passwords an account can try before being locked out. This works great with a single SFTP Adapter. However, if multiple adapters are configured with a load balancer in from of them, an account gets locked out only on a certain adapter. If the connection is routed to another adapter, that account could then login. If the connection later gets directed to the adapter where the account is locked, the client login will be rejected, and the client will be confused as to why.
It would be good to have a policy to lockout an account across ALL SFTP adapters. The current solution is not logical, causes confusion, and causes issues with our security compliance team because even though we tell them that we have password lockout policy after 10 attempts, it's potentially 10*NumberOfSFTPAdapters
