Description

Implementation of http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/4238 introduced a BFA protection, however this is not configurable at all (enable/disable, number of retries, blacklist timeout, etc.).

It would be beneficial, if I as an admin had a way of configure or completely disable the feature.

- e.g. our automation, running on a single foreman instance executes multiple tests, one of them being a negative tests trying an invalid authentication - this test typically lock the automation out from Foreman access, causing all further tests to fail.
