EXPORTS

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 returns a list of users that are currently authenticated. Authentications are stored for SecurityAuthTimeout seconds, and are 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 returns a list of users that are currently blocked from access.
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 blocks the user User from the directory Dir for a specified amount of time.
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 removes the user User from the list of blocked users for the Port (and Dir) specified.

THE SECURITYCALLBACKMODULE

The SecurityCallbackModule is a user written module that can receive events from the mod_security Erlang Webserver API module. This module only exports the function(s), event/4,5, which are described below.

EXPORTS

event(What, Port, Dir, Data) -> ignored
 
event(What, Address, Port, Dir, Data) -> ignored
 
Types:
What = atom()
 
Port = integer()
 
Address = {A,B,C,D} | string() <v>Dir = string()
 
Data = [Info]
 
Info = {Name, Value}
 
event/4 or event/4 is called whenever an event occurs in the mod_security Erlang Webserver API module ( event/4 is called if Address is undefined and event/5 otherwise). The What argument specifies the type of event that has occurred, and should be one of the following reasons; auth_fail (a failed user authentication), user_block (a user is being blocked from access) or user_unblock (a user is being removed from the block list).
Note:
Note that the user_unblock event is not triggered when a user is removed from the block list explicitly using the unblock_user function.
