@rukolahasser, The limit-count plugin will work as expected with the forward-auth plugin; it will limit the API calls per users appropriately instead of limiting requests from the authentication server. > So if a request goes through `forward-auth` and reaches `limit-count` You are right, the request goes through the `forward-auth` plugin but `forward-auth` does not change it's IP address. So in `limit-count's` POV, the request directly comes from the user. Hope I made sense. I can confidently say this as I used the `real-ip` plugin to change the client's IP address. And I added a line of log to check the IP address when the request reaches `limit-count`. The client IP was unchanged. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
