Jeff - this was the exact reason for my question. From time to time, I see
crazy things in the dspace.log and I’d like to be able to block the ip address
from accessing *anything*.
Thanks,
Sue

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Blocking a single ip address from accessing a DSpace
instance
We've had to block several sites (certain web crawlers causing us headaches,
and not the legitimate ones) using IPSec. Of course
it blocks them from everything.
That's one option, though a little severe, IMHO.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it’s possible to block a single ip address from
accessing a DSpace instance? I’ve tried it through the postgres pg_hba.conf
file and, while I can successfully block a user from accessing the dspace
database via, say PGAdminIII, it doesn’t block them from accessing the site.
Thanks in advance,
Sue
