Description
This extension adds an authenticator to your wiki that temporarily blocks users and IPs after a configured number of login failures are recorded for that login or IP. It also adds a section to the XWiki Administration where you can configure the number of failed logins to trigger the blockage and the duration of the blockage, and where you can view and selectively unblock users and IPs.
(Screenshots are following soon.)
Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
After you have installed the extension, the authenticator needs to be enabled.
This needs to be done on the file system in the configuration file xwiki.cfg; please set:
Afterwards you need to restart the XWiki server to makes these changes effective.
