What is the purpose of this change? What does it change?
Currently it is not possible to integrate rest-server into a service like fail2ban
which prevents brute force login attempts.
This pull request adds new command line flags in order to support logging of
unauthorized requests to the server. The flag
--log-auth-failure
enablesthe logging and uses the remote address of the request as the default for
the logged ip. If the server is used behind a reverse proxy for,
--header-for-ip
can be used to specify a header like "X-Forwarded-For" to be used for logging
the ip.
Was the change discussed in an issue or in the forum before?
There was a forum question about fail2ban without an actual solution: https://forum.restic.net/t/rest-server-and-fail2ban/2569
