Soft whitelisting

Features like brute_force, relay_domains and rbl support soft whitelists. You can dynamically adjust these lists from within Lua.

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")
local nauthilus_soft_whitelist = require("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")

nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_set​

Adds or replaces a soft whitelist entry for a specific username, network, and feature.

Syntax​

local err = nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_set(username, network, feature)

Parameters​

  • username (string): The username to whitelist
  • network (string): A valid network with CIDR notation (e.g., "192.168.0.0/24")
  • feature (string): The feature to whitelist for (e.g., "brute_force", "relay_domains", "rbl")

Returns​

  • err (string): An error message if the operation fails, nil on success

Example​

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")
local nauthilus_soft_whitelist = require("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")

local username = "testuser"
local network = "192.168.0.0/24"
local feature = "brute_force"

local err = nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_set(username, network, feature)
if err then
    print("Error:", err)
else
    print("Successfully added whitelist entry")
end

nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_get​

Retrieves all associated networks for a given username and feature.

Syntax​

local networks = nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_get(username, feature)

Parameters​

  • username (string): The username to look up
  • feature (string): The feature to get whitelists for (e.g., "brute_force", "relay_domains", "rbl")

Returns​

  • networks (table): A Lua table containing all whitelisted networks for the specified username and feature

Example​

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")
local nauthilus_soft_whitelist = require("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")

local username = "testuser"
local feature = "brute_force"

local result_table = nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_get(username, feature)

-- result_table will be { [1] = "192.168.0.0/24" } if that network is whitelisted
for i, network in ipairs(result_table) do
    print("Whitelisted network:", network)
end

nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_delete​

Removes a network from the whitelist for a given username and feature.

Syntax​

nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_delete(username, network, feature)

Parameters​

  • username (string): The username to modify
  • network (string): The network to remove from the whitelist
  • feature (string): The feature to remove the whitelist from

Returns​

None

Example​

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")
local nauthilus_soft_whitelist = require("nauthilus_soft_whitelist")

local username = "testuser"
local network = "192.168.0.0/24"
local feature = "brute_force"

nauthilus_soft_whitelist.soft_whitelist_delete(username, network, feature)

-- Will remove the network "192.168.0.0/24" from the user's whitelist
