How to unban an IP address?

[sankaet]

Hey guys, is there a way to unban an ip address?

[groovecoder]

You can delete the banishment object in the django admin UI, right?

[Anton-Shutik]

@groovecoder right, but you also need to reset a cache.

@Anton-Shutik there's a post_save signal handler on Banishment objects that should update the cache ... at least for ip-address bans Is it not working? I just tested this locally and it seemed to work fine.

[Anton-Shutik]

@groovecoder Yeah, but will it remove banishment from cache when deleting Banishment model instance ? So, for instance I have ip-address banned '42.42.42.42'. Will it be unbanned after just deleting Banishment object from admin ?

[groovecoder]

@Anton-Shutik that's exactly how it worked for me. As soon as I deleted the banishment object from the admin site, I was able to get back to my site from the IP address. At the very least, you should verify this and close this issue if it already works.

Anyone been able to reproduce this bug? Or can we close it?
