IP Blacklisting

[nathancani]

Feature sugggestion rather than Bug;

A feature needs to be added into suitecrm that blocks ip's from logging into the crm when an ip fails to login to the CRM after x amount of times; to avoid brute force logins to the crm

There is no configuration option that i can see for Native support without manually coding anything in.

I would favor the fail2ban approach as explained here:
https://www.suitecrm.com/forum/suitecrm-7-0-discussion/1076-lock-user-account-after-x-login-attempts

We should avoid "reinventing the wheel".

The fix to the code is incredibly simple, just make sure we log an error. Then fail2ban takes up the job from there.
