Hi,
We want to block certain ip addresses from accessing a certain (server) context - e.g. ip address 10.1.13.25 shouldn't be able to access (server) context (not a directory) 'myapplication'. [*NOTE*] We use mod_jk in order to "forward" certain contexts to a JBoss AS instance. Therefore we added the following lines to Apache's httpd.conf (we simply adapted some useful examples from the mod_rewrite documentation): LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^10\.1\.13\.25 RewriteRule .* - [F] This rule is even more restrictive - it should restrict access to all resources served from our Apache (and/or the JBoss behind it) for clients with ip address 10.1.13.25. Unfortunately this rule has no effect - all resources are available for ip 10.1.13.25 - Why? [*NOTE*] Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.26 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8d [*NOTE*] The above configuration represents the last statements in httpd.conf - the mod_jk module is loaded before Many thanks for your help, Kind regards, Markus
