dns-name instead of ip – again

  • Hello,

    I think some big missunderstanding happened in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/dns-name-instead-of-ip/.

    The request was not to authenticate using the website’s hostname ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]) but to lookup a allowed (e.g. dyn dns) hostname specified in the configuration and to match it with the client’s / source ip address. Not sure why this would be insecure (ignoring more sophisticated attacks like dns poisoning). It might be -without caching- a performance problem without caching for sites with significant traffic, though.

    If you don’t want to implement this, would there be a chance to make the allowed IPs changable via WP-CLI? Then I could run a cronjob that basically achieves the same goal.

    Thanks for considering!
    Tobias

    Hi,

    Thank you for clarifying the previous request. I have a better idea now.

    We will check if we can add this soon.

    At the moment we do not have an option to update the entries via WP-CLI though it can be update directly in the database. The table name is ip_based_login
