Managing banned IP addresses

You can ban specific IP addresses from accessing your Developer Portal site.

To manage banned IP addresses, complete the following steps:

1. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
2. Click Configuration in the administrator dashboard.
3. In the PEOPLE section, click IP address bans.
   The IP address bans window opens.
4. You can complete the following tasks:
   1. To ban an IP address, enter the address in the IP address field, then click Add.
      The address is added to the BANNED IP ADDRESSES list.
   2. To remove an IP address from the banned list, click Delete alongside the required address.
   Note:

   • There is automatic login flood protection built into the Developer Portal. This feature means that an excess of login attempts from the same IP address in one hour will cause that IP to be temporarily banned. For more information, see Using flood control for login security.
   • You can also clear banned user/IP addresses by using the Developer Portal CLI command security:clear-bans. For more information, see Using the security command.
