Thanks George.  We use IPlanet, but I’m sure there is an equivalent way to do 
this in IPlanet.

instance

Susan:

We use Apache with Tomcat at Cornell to get at our DSpace instance (I actually 
firewalled the 8080 port against off-campus IPs so they can’t access it that 
way), and I have blocked certain IPs in the Apache conf file.
<Location />
    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   Allow from all
</Location>

I don’t know if this helps you, but this one way we control access.

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

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
