[Dspace-tech] Blocking an IP from accessing DSpace
Hi... I wonder if anyone has successfully blocked an IP from accessing content in DSpace. I usually block IP's in Apache, but my attempts to do so with DSpace have not been successful. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can restrict an abusive IP ? *** George Kozak Coordinator Web Development and Management Digital Media Group 504 Olin Library Cornell University 607-255-8924 *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Take Surveys.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Blocking an IP from accessing DSpace
There is a remote restriction valve you can place in tomcats server.xml to block certain IP. But I'm not so sure its as low level as you get out of Apache or Packet Filtering in Linux Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve deny=61 \.145\.233\.118 / -Mark On Feb 16, 2007, at 4:39 PM, George Kozak wrote: Hi...

From: George Kozak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can restrict an abusive IP ? I don't have any experience in doing this, and how you would go about it depends on your situation (choice of application server, whether you want to restrict all access to DSpace, or just specific pages, etc.). But if you are hosting on Tomcat, want to block access across the entire DSpace application (or even across the entire host or everything served by Tomcat), and haven't done so already, then you ought to start by looking at the Remote Address Filter valve http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html It's configurable at Engine (whole of Tomcat), Host (domain), or Context (single web application) level. If you wish (or can get away with) restricting only at the level of the application, then you can do so supplying a Context definition in the file /META-INF/context.xml within the war.
