ikiwiki/doc/banned_users.mdwn

Banned users can be configured in the setup file via the `banned_users`
setting. This is a list of user names, or [[PageSpecs|ikiwiki/PageSpec]]
to ban. Using a PageSpec is useful to block an IP address.

For example:

	banned_users => ['evilspammer', 'ip(192.168.1.1)'],

If a banned user attempts to use the ikiwiki CGI, they will receive a 403
Forbidden webpage indicating they are banned.

Note that when [[plugins/emailauth]] is used, the user's email address
is displayed in cloaked form in commits of their edits. This cloaked email
address can be used as-is in the `banned_users` setting.
Expand banned_users; it can now include PageSpecs, which allows banning by IP address. 2009-09-08 21:17:39 +02:00			Banned users can be configured in the setup file via the `banned_users`

cloak user PII when making commits etc, and let cloaked PII be used in banned_users This was needed due to emailauth, but I've also wrapped all IP address exposure in cloak(), although the function doesn't yet cloak IP addresses. (One IP address I didn't cloak is the one that appears on the password reset email template. That is expected to be the user's own IP address, so ok to show it to them.)
