# Protected paths **(CORE ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab protects the following paths with Rack Attack by default:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
'/users/password',
|
|
'/users/sign_in',
|
|
'/api/#{API::API.version}/session.json',
|
|
'/api/#{API::API.version}/session',
|
|
'/users',
|
|
'/users/confirmation',
|
|
'/unsubscribes/',
|
|
'/import/github/personal_access_token'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
GitLab responds with HTTP status code `429` to POST requests at protected paths
|
|
that exceed 10 requests per minute per IP address.
|
|
|
|
This header is included in responses to blocked requests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Retry-After: 60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, the following are limited to a maximum 10 requests per minute:
|
|
|
|
- User sign-in
|
|
- User sign-up (if enabled)
|
|
- User password reset
|
|
|
|
After 10 requests, the client must wait 60 seconds before it can
|
|
try again.
|
|
|
|
## Configure using GitLab UI
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in [GitLab 12.4](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/31246).
|
|
|
|
Throttling of protected paths is enabled by default and can be disabled or
|
|
customized on **Admin > Network > Protected Paths**, along with these options:
|
|
|
|
- Maximum number of requests per period per user.
|
|
- Rate limit period in seconds.
|
|
- Paths to be protected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requests over the rate limit are logged into `auth.log`.
|
|
|
|
## Migrate settings from GitLab 12.3 and earlier
|
|
|
|
Omnibus GitLab protected paths throttle is deprecated and is scheduled for removal in
|
|
GitLab 13.0. Please see the [GitLab issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/29952) and the [Omnibus GitLab issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/4688) for more information.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:** If Omnibus settings are present, applications settings will be automatically ignored to avoid generating multiple requests blocks.
|
|
|
|
To migrate from Omnibus GitLab 12.3 and earlier settings:
|
|
|
|
1. Disable the Protected Paths throttle from Omnibus, by changing `rack_attack_enabled` value to `false` on [`rack_attack.rb.erb`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/files/gitlab-cookbooks/gitlab/templates/default/rack_attack.rb.erb#L18):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
rack_attack_enabled = false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Customize and enable your protected paths settings by following [Configure using GitLab UI](#configure-using-gitlab-ui) section.
|
|
|
|
1. Restart GitLab:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it. Protected paths throttle are now managed by GitLab admin settings.
