Directions:
Back up your existing ASPProtect installation.

Add a new table to your ASPProtect Database
Call it "ASPP_Banned_List"

Now, in that new Table add two new fields.


For an MSAccess Database

Banned_ID (Autonumber) and make it a primary key
IP_Address (text field) with a size of 30 characters


For a MSSQL Database

Banned_ID (int) and make it an (indentity/seed/increment 1) and make a primary key
IP_Address (nvarchar field) with a size of 30 characters


once that is done

Copy all the new ".asp" pages into your site. There is also an image that goes in the images folder

Edit the "config_inc.asp" file

Find this section of code

tbl_label_config = "ASPP_Config"
tbl_label_users = "ASPP_Users"
tbl_label_groups = "ASPP_Groups"

And add this code red right underneath it.

Dim tbl_label_banned
tbl_label_banned = "ASPP_Banned_List"

Edit the "check_user_inc.asp" file

Near the top you will 2 server side includes.. one to the config_inc.asp, one to the dataconn_inc.asp file.

put this line of code in red right under them

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="scripts/ipfilter_inc.asp"-->

Now edit the "password_admin/header_inc.asp" file

Find this section of code.

<% If UseLogFiles = True Then %>
<td valign="bottom"><a href="view_logs.asp"><img src="../images/logfiles.gif" border="0" alt="Log Files"></a><% If PageButton = "logfiles" Then %><br><img src="../images/tab-spacer.gif" border="0" alt="Log Files"><% End If %></td>
<% End If %>

And add this code red right underneath it.

<td valign="bottom"><a href="ipbanning.asp"><img src="../images/banning.gif" border="0" alt="Banning"></a><% If PageButton = "banning" Then %><br><img src="../images/tab-spacer.gif" border="0" alt="Log Files"><% End If %></td>

That's it...Go to the admin area and you will have a new tab called "banning" ...

If you want to edit the message shown when a IP ban occurs carefully edit the "scripts/ipfilter_inc.asp" file
right near the top you'll see a response.write statement and that is the area where you can put whatever you want.
