Monitored IP
Accolades server temporary stores all the authentication requests with invalid credentials and, also the HTTP requests for invalid pages (requests ended with 404 status). Using this module, the server manages a brute force attack protection.
If the number of invalid requests passed a defined threshold, then the server will reject any new request from the monitored IP for a certain amount of time.
The page can be accessed from the main menu, by selecting the Server section and then the Monitored IP submenu.
The monitored IPs are displayed as a list. The administrator can click on an element to display detailed information about the entry. A monitored IP has the following properties:
- Status
- The entry status: "still active" (the requests from that IP are still allowed) or "blocked" (the server will reject any new connection from that IP).
- API
- The number of invalid requests left until the IP will be blocked.
- Frontend
- The number of invalid authentication requests to the Accolades server, left until the IP will be blocked.
- Backend
- The number of invalid HTTP requests (ended with status 404) until the IP will be blocked.
- Expires on
- The time limit for the monitoring process (if no invalid requests are made until this threshold then the monitoring process will stop)
If the administrator has the necessary permissions then an entry can be deleted by pressing the Delete button, available after an IP is selected.
