cpanel/webmail accesses blocked

xperience · Post by **xperience** » 02 Oct 2007, 10:10

Hi,

Which option would I need to change to increase the number of failed cpanel/webmail logins allowed?

Some of our customers are not so bright and keep getting their IP's blocked!

Cheers

Simon

# Set the number of login failures that trigger the blocking of the IP

hmm - I couldn't find that option.

I have:

# [*]Enable login failure detection of cpanel, webmail and whm connections
LF_CPANEL = 15
LF_CPANEL_PERM = 1

Should that be it?

You can do a seach on the page from your browser and you should find it.
In IE, edit > find on this page
Paste the entire line in;

# Set the number of login failures that trigger the blocking of the IP

BTW, your LF_CPANEL = 15 should be set to a 1.

Hi,

I've checked the Firewall configuration in WHM again and that line's definately not there!

What am I doing wrong?!

Related to this subject:
What option do we have to fulfill a clients request, he wants to block all access to cPanel/Webmail for his domain, and let some IP-s to be able to connect,

Thank you,

xperience: if you are running the latest CSF [and why you wouldn't?] than you should see in the configuration [csf.conf] that option,

Block access to webmail? Isn't it already blocked by default? Or do you mean block all mail period?

I mean i have employees in an office, and i want to be accesible webmail just from that office, not elsewhere.
I thought if it would be possible to specify for a domain a few IPs to be accessible,

You would need to remove the appropriate ports from TCP_IN and then add individual IP's to csf.allow to permit them access to those ports.
