Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. The protection is indeed caused by those requests.

If entries like this one are about once every minute, it's very likely at least one library causing this. Please check the libraries, if there is one (or more) created by a user that was deleted, or whose password was changed, but did not login since.

best regards.

How can I know which library causing this?

Thanks.

I'm afraid only by comparing the "History" on the Libraries to see which Library was created by the same user, that occurs in these webserver log entries.
