Hi,


Is it possible to restrict the limesurvey admin area by IP address?


we have apache/nginx sousing htaccess file?

Here is one idea you could try.

What I have done for my phpmyadmin to restrict access:
In /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf file:


Now, phpmyadmin is available from only the server itself (127.0.0.1) and that specific IP (192.168.1.101).


Could you try in a similar way, for example, somewhere in apache's httpd.conf (or some equivalent file ?):

<Directory "/var/www/html/your_limesurvey_root_dir/index.php/admin">
....
....
</Directory>

Let us know how it goes.

I think best is to create a new plugin :
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Authentication...elopment#beforeLogin

Since it's don't need to be default to happen : you can redirect or send a 403 here

Hi there,

thanks for putting me on the right path. Under the admin folder I can create a .htaccess file and restrict.

Works fine when someone tries to access limesurvey_root_dir/admin. However, does not work when they use limesurvey_root_dir/index.php/admin
