user does not complete the login within the time specified by LoginGraceTime, the connection is
automatically disconnected. You are advised to set this field to a value less than or equal to 60,
in seconds.

If this field is set to a large value, attackers can use a large number of unfinished login
connections to consume server resources. As a result, administrators fail to log in to the system.
If the value is not explicitly configured in the configuration file, the system uses the default
value 120, in seconds.");
