I am trying to implement a “three strikes and you’re out” process, where a user gets locked out of a server after three failed attempts to log-in.
Does this come as out-of-the-box functionality with Domino 7?
Do I have to manually code this myself ? Can this functionality be added to a custom log-in form ?
Do I have to wait for customer to upgrade to Domino 8?
Any help greatly appreciated.

"Does this come as out-of-the-box functionality with Domino 7?"Nope.
“Do I have to manually code this myself?”
Yepp, unless you’re willing to pay for software that does it for you.
“Can this functionality be added to a custom log-in form?”
Nope. There once was a View article on how to implement some similar functionality through a mind-shaking combination of LS agents, some redirection database and I-don’t-know-how. I can’t remember, why this approach was not right for me, when I looked at it, but usually the way to go is a custom DSAPI filter. Either written by yourself, or some third party company.
“Do I have to wait for customer to upgrade to Domino 8?”
See above.

Harkpabst,
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a url to that View article?

How to do it is in the sandbox:

Thanks.

Be a little careful, though: The sandbox sample is explicitly marked as sample code, not as production save code to take away. If it was, third party companies could not charge money for their products.
The View article I was referring to was published in Volume 11, Issue 04 (July/August 2005). You need a view subscription to access the article online, but the sample database (I think there was one) is available to everybody.
