Leech Protect

Leech Protect allows you to prevent your users from giving out or publicly posting their password to a restricted area of your site. This feature will redirect (and suspend if selected) accounts which have been compromised to a url of your choice.


Leech protection is currently disabled on /home/cpdemo/bin



Setup Leech Protection:
Number of Logins Per Username Allowed in a 2 Hour Period:
  Four is recommened as setting the number lower then 4 can cause suspension of legitimate users who have disconnected then reconnected to their ISP. If users are reconnecting from the same network subnet, their account will not be disabled.
  
Url to Redirect Leech Users to:
  You must choose a url outside of the leech protected area or the leech users will get a internal server error message.
  
Send Email Alert To
  You will recieve an email at this address when leech protection is used to redirect users away from the site.
**If you choose not to disable an account you may recieve a lot of emails as you will get one per each attempt to access your site.**
  
Disable Compromised Accounts
  Users who trigger leech protection will have their account suspended by disabling their password. To reactivate their account reset their password.



Disable Protection:



Manage Users:

If you are using third party software to add/remove users, you should have it use the password file: /home/cpdemo/.htpasswds/bin/passwd
