How to change the timeout for auto-whitelisted IP addresses (Captcha included)?

Issue

By default, Imunify360 auto-whitelists IP addresses after a successful login or captcha challenge for 24 hours.

Environment

• Any supported panel
• Any supported OS
• Imunify360
• Firewall/WebShield

Solution

Since we have two different types of auto-whitelists (for "Successful login" and "Captcha solved" events), the TTL can be adjusted separately. In the examples below, we are assigning a 20 minutes timeout limit:

• For successful login:

imunify360-agent config update '{"AUTO_WHITELIST": {"timeout": 20}}'

• For successful Captcha challenge:

imunify360-agent config update '{"AUTO_WHITELIST": {"after_unblock_timeout": 20}}'

Cause

Imunify360 offers auto-whitelisting after a successful login and Captcha solving. The timeout value can be adjusted.
