Once active, all requests by NON TRUSTED(as configured) clients will be redirected to a reCAPTCHA validation page. After validation, the client will be redirected to their desired page.<br/><br/> The following situations will activate reCAPTCHA Protection:<br/> 1. The server or vhost concurrent requests count passes the configured connection limit.<br/> 2. Anti-DDoS is enabled and a client is hitting a url in a suspicious manner. The client will redirect to reCAPTCHA first instead of getting denied when triggered.<br/> 3. WordPress Brute Force Attack Protection is enabled and action is set to 'CAPTCHA or Drop’. When a brute force attack is detected, the client will redirect to reCAPTCHA first. After max tries is reached, the connection will be dropped, as per the ‘drop’ option.<br/> 4. WordPress Brute Force Attack Protection is enabled and action is set to 'WP Login CAPTCHA Full Protection'. The client will always redirect to reCAPTCHA first.<br/> 5. A new rewrite rule environment is provided to activate reCAPTCHA via RewriteRules. 'verifycaptcha' can be set to redirect clients to reCAPTCHA. A special value ': deny' can be set to deny the client if it failed too many times. For example, [E=verifycaptcha] will always redirect to reCAPTCHA until verified. [E=verifycaptcha: deny] will redirect to reCAPTCHA until Max Tries is hit, after which the client will be denied.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="recaptchaSensitivity"><h3>Trigger Sensitivity<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#recaptchaSensitivity"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Automatic reCAPTCHA sensitivity.

Virtual host level settings will NOT override server level settings.<br/><br/> Blocking/Allowing an IP is determined by the combination of the allowed list and the denied list. If you want to block only certain IPs or sub-networks, put <span class="val">*</span> or <span class="val">ALL</span> in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#accessControl_allow">Allowed List</a></span> and list the blocked IPs or sub-networks in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#accessControl_deny">Denied List</a></span>. If you want to allow only certain IPs or sub-networks, put <span class="val">*</span> or <span class="val">ALL</span> in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#accessControl_deny">Denied List</a></span> and list the allowed IPs or sub-networks in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#accessControl_allow">Allowed List</a></span>. The setting of the smallest scope that fits for an IP will be used to determine access.<br/><br/> <b>Server Level:</b> Trusted IPs or sub-networks must be specified in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#accessControl_allow">Allowed List</a></span> by adding a trailing "T". Trusted IPs or sub-networks are not affected by connection/throttling limits.

Authorization realms are used to block unauthorized users from accessing protected web pages. A realm is a user directory containing usernames and passwords with optional group classifications. Authorization is performed at the context level. Because different contexts can share the same realm (user database), realms are defined separately from the contexts that use them. You can refer to a realm by these names in a contexts configuration.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="realmName"><h3>Realm Name<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#realmName"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies a unique name for the authorization realm.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="realmType"><h3>DB Type<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#realmType"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies how user/group data is stored for an authorization realm.

For DB type <span class="val">Password File</span>, it is the path to the flat file containing user/password definitions. You can edit this file through the WebAdmin console by clicking on the filename.<br/><br/> Each line of the user file contains a username followed by a colon, followed by a crypt() encrypted password, optionally followed by a colon and group names that user belongs to. Group names are delimitated by commas. If group information is specified in the user database, then the group database will not be checked.<br/><br/> Example:<blockquote><code>john:HZ.U8kgjnMOHo:admin,user</code></blockquote><br/><br/> For DB type <span class="val">LDAP</span>, it is the LDAP URL to query for the user information. For each valid user, the authentication data stored in the LDAP server should contain at least the user id and user password. One and only one record should be returned in the LDAP search request based on the URL and username received in the HTTP Authentication header. "$k" must be specified in the filter part of the URL and it will be replaced with the username. The user password attribute must be returned in the query result. The attribute name of the user password is specified by <span class="tagl"><a href="#userDB_attrPasswd">Password Attribute</a></span>. Group information can be optionally specified by the <span class="tagl"><a href="#userDB_attrMemberOf">Member-of Attribute</a></span>.<br/><br/> Example: At minimum, a user can be defined in LDAP with object classes: uidObject, simpleSecurityObject and organizationalRole.
