The intent to remove the account is stored in the database. At startup, if
there are any such referenes, they are applied by removing the account
directories and the entry in the database. This ensures the account directory
is properly removed, even on incomplete shutdown.
Don't add an account when its directory already exits.
logging of login attempts happens in the background, because we don't want to
block regular operation with disk since for such logging. however, when a line
is logged, we evaluate some attributes of a connection, notably the username.
but about when we do authentication, we change the username on a connection. so
we were reading and writing at the same time. this is now fixed by evaluating
the attributes before we pass off the logger to the goroutine.
found by the go race detector.
and show them in the account and admin interfaces. this should help with
debugging, to find misconfigured clients, and potentially find attackers trying
to login.
we include details like login name, account name, protocol, authentication
mechanism, ip addresses, tls connection properties, user-agent. and of course
the result.
we group entries by their details. repeat connections don't cause new records
in the database, they just increase the count on the existing record.
we keep data for at most 30 days. and we keep at most 10k entries per account.
to prevent unbounded growth. for successful login attempts, we store them all
for 30d. if a bad user causes so many entries this becomes a problem, it will
be time to talk to the user...
there is no pagination/searching yet in the admin/account interfaces. so the
list may be long. we only show the 10 most recent login attempts by default.
the rest is only shown on a separate page.
there is no way yet to disable this. may come later, either as global setting
or per account.
