FAQ

Configuration

Go to Administration → Server settings → Configuration → Brute force login protection.

  • Service status — toggle the protection on/off.
  • Number of failed logins max — threshold at which an IP is blocked (default: 6).
  • CIDRs whitelist — comma-separated list of IPv4 and/or IPv6 CIDR blocks that are never blocked. Defaults to 127.0.0.1/32,::1/128. Examples: 192.168.0.0/242001:db8::/32.

Configure the Jahia mail server settings to receive a notification email the first time each IP is blocked.

Tracked IPs

The Tracked IPs section lists every IP with at least one failed login attempt, its failed-login count, and whether it currently exceeds the threshold (blocked) or is still below it (tracked).

  • Unblock — remove a specific IP from the cache. The counter resets to zero and the IP can log in again.
  • Flush cache — clear every tracked IP at once and force the settings to be re-read from the repository.

How To Install

  • In Jahia, go to Administration → Server settings → System components → Modules
  • Upload the JAR brute-force-login-protection-X.X.X.jar
  • Check that the module is started
