Logging out of the FIPS management console does not affect the session logged into the

WARNING:
AsyncOS for Web keeps track of the total number of failed login attempts to
the HSM card using the FIPS Officer password. On the third login failure, the HSM card is
initialized, which clears its contents. There is no timeout between failed login attempts.
Because the HSM card gets initialized, it loses the certificate and key for accessing the
appliance web interface. If the HSM card initializes after the third unsuccessful login attempt,
the browser displays a generic error message that it cannot display the webpage. For more
information, see “Initializing the HSM Card” on page 70.
