Access Restrictions Add-on Settings

You can manage the following settings in the Add-ons → Manage add-ons section of the administration panel. Choose the Access restrictions add-on in the Installed add-ons tab and click the gear button near its status. Choose Settings from the drop-down list.

Note

If you do not see the add-on in the Installed add-ons tab, install it in the Browse all available add-ons tab first.

Administrator area settings

The following parameters define access rules to the Administration panel.

  • Allow login to the admin area from specified IPs only - If selected, the administration panel can be accessed from a limited range of IP-addresses defined in the Add-ons → Access restrictions section.

Important

When you enable this option, your current IP-address is automatically added to the list of allowed IP-addresses.

  • Block IP after a number of unsuccessful attempts - If selected, the system blocks the user IP-address after a series of failed login attempts made from this IP-address during a certain period of time. The number of attempts and the surveillance period are defined in the fields below.
  • Number of unsuccessful attempts - Number of failed login attempts before the system blocks the IP-address.
  • Time between unsuccessful login attempts - Number of seconds to include the series of failed login attempts after which the system blocks the IP-address.
  • Time for which the IP should be blocked - Number of hours before the system unlocks a blocked IP-address.

When an administrator’s IP is blocked, it appears among banned IP addresses in Add-ons → Access restrictions in the Administration panel tab having the Active status. Changing the status to Disabled unlocks the IP-address after the locking period is over.
