How to lock a MSSQL (2017 Linux) account after N unsuccessful login attempts I have to configure account lock after N unsuccessful login attempts on MSSQL 2017 Linux. That is standalone server and is not in AD. 
I couln'd find any valuable information so far unfortunately. Perhaps because Linux platform is quite fresh for MSSQL Server. Thank you for any advice here.
I think you need to use a server / login trigger. Aaron Bertrand wrote a cool little article about combining login triggers and extended events here - https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3582/prevent-and-log-certain-sql-server-login-attempts/
