based in: Brute Force Defender

Requirements

1. Grails 2.3.2+
2. Spring Security Core Plugin (2.0-RC3+)
3. ReCaptcha Plugin (0.6.9+)

Installation

1. clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/rpalcolea/recaptcha-spring-security.git

2. Enter to the repository via command line.

3. package the plugin: grails package-plugin

Configuration

Config.groovy

Configure recaptcha plugin

And then Add the following lines to your Grails Config.groovy file:

bruteforcedefender {
	time = 5
	allowedNumberOfAttempts = 3
}

time = minutes mantaining failed attempts allowed NumberOfAttempts = number of failed attempts before showing the recaptcha widget.

Adding the recaptcha to your auth view

Open your auth.gsp (/grails-app/views/login/auth.gsp) and add the next line wherever you want to render the recaptcha after the attempts.

      <g:recaptchaLogin/>

Note: The plugin depends on spring security authentication events and so it sets grails.plugin.springsecurity.useSecurityEventListener = true
