Hello everyone, I am trying to use request.remote_ip in my application to log a user''s IP address because I have been having a lot of abuse issues. basically when a user logs I simply call user.update_attribute(:last_ip, request.remote_ip). The problem is that for some reason a lot of people that have recently logged in still have NULL listed as their last_ip in the database, even

class User def update_metadata self.update_attributes({:last_login_at => Time.now, :last_known_up => request.remote_ip, :last_known_user_agent => request.user_agent}) end This does not work. It bombs out with: undefined local variable or method `request'' for #<User:0x1e146e0> But the request calls work in a

I have an existing rails application on lighttpd and I am trrying to upgrade to mongrel for the enhanced scalability it offers. I am running mongrel 1.1.1, rails 1.2.5, lighttpd 1.4.13 and ruby 1.8.5 Everything is working great except request.remote_ip returns 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.102 (the internal network address of the server running lighty). I''ve seen some older posts about

For some users, request.remote_ip always return nil. According to the RAILS''s help: REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the first is the

Hello everyone. I have a problem with "request.remote_ip" I made an array: 1 ip = request.remote_ip 2 $ address [ip] = (: test => "OK") ... ... ... 11 ip = request.remote_ip # (along with a lot of AJAX calls) 12 response = $ address [ip] [: test] It often works, but sometimes it gives me this error: NoMethodError (undefined method `[] ''for nil:

I use a solution to crypt a string that I found using OpenSSL. But the crypted string becomes very long, too long for a varchar 255 to hold it. What can I do to make it shorter? Or should I just use text as column in the mysql db? public_key_file = ''lib/public.pem'' public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read(public_key_file)) @encrypted_string =

to improve forensic log info i want to set the PAM_RHOST value to the remote ip (which pam logs as rhost=foo in failure messages). i didn't look to see if anything has been done in this way on CVS because i'm still on 0.99.10.6. below is a bit of a hack. in some sense the remote_ip might make more sense in the AUTH_LOGIN_REQUEST_NEW packet rather than the continue packet... but that

Hello, Is there any reason why an IP-phone would pounder on port 5060 ? My firewall blocks the public IP because it thinks the remote IP is port scanning on port 5060.

I'm trying to figure out how exactly v2.0 should be parsing configuration files. The most annoying part is if it should always just "use whatever comes first in config" or try some kind of a "use most specific rule". The "most specific" kind of makes more sense initially, but then you start wondering how to handle e.g.: 1) User logs in to imap from 192.168.0.1.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply! Regarding grouping by remote address, I understand and for now I'll keep a close eye. Maybe it's an option to group by /24 for ipv4 and /64 for IPv6? We currently do that based on the logs but the OpenMetrics endpoint seem a lot easier. A slight hijack of the original question: but I tried to log only IP addresses (+ result) of failed login attempts but

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type.? I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table.? My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type'
