With fail2ban you can enhance the security of Group-Office. When a user logs in Group-Office writes log message to /home/groupoffice/log/info.log (or wherever your file_storage_path is). fail2ban analyzes this file and when someone enters a number of wrong passwords it will block the IP address using IPtables.

To install fail2ban on debian enter:

apt-get install fail2ban

Create the Group-Office script /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/group-office.conf:

# Fail2Ban configuration file
