Hi, everyone.  Wondering if there's a way in PostgreSQL to automatically lock 
accounts after a number of failed logins (a security requirement for my 
organization).  I've been investigating this for a while and the only reference 
I've found is to write a hook:  
https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/e/e3/Hooks_in_postgresql.pdf , which is a 
little more involved than I'd hoped.  Was hoping there was something native 
available within PostgreSQL.

Locking accounts after X number of failed logins is an excellent way to defeat 
brute force attacks, so I'm just wondering if there's a way to do this, other 
than the aforementioned hook.

This is my first time using this mail list so apologies in advance if I'm not 
following etiquette or doing something incorrectly.

Thanks in advance.
