Limiting login attempts

[Itsu]

Is there any way I can limit the number of login attempts a client can make to a password protected area? I ask this because I want to be able to send people to an ErrorDocument handler when they enter bad info a certain number of times.

Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Itsu,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I can't answer your question, having never done this, but maybe someone else has some ideas. I suspect you may need to use a server-side script to do this, as I'm unaware of any built-in Apache facility to handle it.

if you have mod_php installed, I can send you a script in php that can handle this for you.
