Hello,
Is there a way to block a specific ip address when this ip attempt to bind many times if failure result ??
This could be useful to prevent a brute-force attack.
I know that ppolicy can lockout the user after some failed attempts. But I would like to block new connections from the IP, after this IP try to make a number of fail binds.
Best regards,
Jakjr

man slapd.access(5) only describes positive connections but there is a hint to disable defined objectclasses. Something like access to <whatever> by peername.ip=<ipnumber> attrs=!objectclass=* But you may file an ITS to ask for negative connection rules.

I would think this much better handled by an system external to slapd(8) that would monitor slapd(8) logs and then adjust firewall rules on the server (or upstream of the server) accordingly. Basically, an intrusion detection system.

Agreed. Something like denyhosts http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ fail2ban http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page blockhosts http://www.aczoom.com/cms/blockhosts/
etc...
Thanks.
I will give a look in these IDS.
