We are using SSO for login and account creation. There’s no other way to login or signing up on our forum. However, the list of screened IPs has dozens of IP addresses which are being added automatically on a daily basis. Is this expected? What makes an IP address get added to the Screened IPs list…

The only way I can think of is when you delete an account and opt for the “delete spammer” button.

Good point — it’s when we remove an account through the API that the IP is being added to the Screened IPs. However, we are issuing the DELETE request using block_ip=false. This is from rails logs: Parameters: {"delete_posts"=>"1", "block_email"=>"0", "blocked_urls"=>"0", "block_ip"=>"0", "id"=>"1…

[image] Can't SSO due to blocked IP addresses It sounds like you are calling the “delete as spammer” function, which will automatically blocklist the IP and email address. I think you should revisit that code. You want “plain delete” per the UI, not “delete as spammer”. That could be, although…

You may want to use Reverse engineer the Discourse API and see exactly what requests are sent when you delete a user, and pressing the button that says Delete only [image] … because I can tell you for a fact that if you are seeing IPs get added to the screened list after deletion, you are absolut…

I had already done that and the deleting API endpoint is the one I have been using, which the same one for both actions (delete only and delete&block) — the only difference is on the parameters that are used with it (block_ip, block_email, …) that I mentioned aboved. [image] mentalstring: Howev…

I might have spoken too soon. :disappointed_face: Having corrected the truthy/falsy parameters to ‘true’/‘false’ strings, I still see entries being added to Screened IPs and Screened Emails upon deleting users. Here’s the rails logs for a API call: Started DELETE "/admin/users/9553.json" for 123.…

As long as you’ve emulated the behavior that you observe when you follow the Reverse engineer the Discourse API topic, you should be OK. What API calls are you observing in the network monitor when you push the “delete only” button?

In some cases, when the JS isn’t explicitly passing false to the server, the server treats any present value as true. This is likely what you’re encountering here.

Dans certains cas, lorsque le JavaScript ne transmet pas explicitement false au serveur, ce dernier considère toute valeur présente comme vraie. C’est probablement ce à quoi vous êtes confronté ici.
