-
If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.

Click Configuration in the administrator dashboard.

In the PEOPLE section, click IP address
bans.
The IP address bans window opens.

You can complete the following tasks:
-
To ban an IP address, enter the address in the IP address field, then
click Add.

list.

Note:
- There is automatic login
flood
protection built into the Developer Portal.
This feature means that an excess of login attempts from the same IP address in one hour will cause
that IP to be temporarily banned. For more information, see Using flood control for login security.

command
security:clear-bans
. For more information, see Using the security command.
