DESCRIPTION
Security Audit and Trailing Functionality
EXPORTS
block_user(User, Port, Dir, Seconds) -> true | {error, Reason} block_user(User, Address, Port, Dir, Seconds) -> true | {error, Reason} Types: User = string() Port = integer() Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() | undefined Dir = string() Seconds = integer() | infinity Reason = no_such_directory block_user/4 and block_user/5 each blocks the user User from directory Dir for a specified amount of time. list_auth_users(Port) -> Users | [] list_auth_users(Address, Port) -> Users | [] list_auth_users(Port, Dir) -> Users | [] list_auth_users(Address, Port, Dir) -> Users | [] Types: Port = integer() Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() | undefined Dir = string() Users = list() = [string()] list_auth_users/1, list_auth_users/2, and list_auth_users/3 each returns a list of users that are currently authenticated. Authentications are stored for SecurityAuthTimeout seconds, and then discarded. list_blocked_users(Port) -> Users | [] list_blocked_users(Address, Port) -> Users | [] list_blocked_users(Port, Dir) -> Users | [] list_blocked_users(Address, Port, Dir) -> Users | [] Types: Port = integer() Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() | undefined Dir = string() Users = list() = [string()] list_blocked_users/1, list_blocked_users/2, and list_blocked_users/3 each returns a list of users that are currently blocked from access. unblock_user(User, Port) -> true | {error, Reason} unblock_user(User, Address, Port) -> true | {error, Reason} unblock_user(User, Port, Dir) -> true | {error, Reason} unblock_user(User, Address, Port, Dir) -> true | {error, Reason} Types: User = string() Port = integer() Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() | undefined Dir = string() Reason = term() unblock_user/2, unblock_user/3, and unblock_user/4 each removes the user User from the list of blocked users for Port (and Dir).
SECURITYCALLBACKMODULE
The SecurityCallbackModule is a user-written module that can receive events from the mod_security Erlang web server API module. This module only exports the functions event/[4,5] which are described here.
EXPORTS
Module:event(What, Port, Dir, Data) -> ignored Module:event(What, Address, Port, Dir, Data) -> ignored Types: What = atom() Port = integer() Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() Dir = string() Data = [Info] Info = {Name, Value} event/4 or event/5 is called whenever an event occurs in the mod_security Erlang web server API module. (event/4 is called if Address is undefined, otherwise event/5. Argument What specifies the type of event that has occurred and is one of the following reasons: auth_fail: A failed user authentication. user_block: A user is being blocked from access. user_unblock: A user is being removed from the block list. Note: The event user_unblock is not triggered when a user is removed from the block list explicitly using the unblock_user function.
