Question

I am writing a module to deny admin users access unless coming from a specific IP. I am hooking into the admin successful login event, checking their IP against an array of IPs and if the admin user’s IP is not in the list I am logging them out, and redirecting them back to the admin login page.

My question is….

how do I set a message on the login page similar to “Incorrect Password”?

Any snippets or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

You can try to throw an exception like this:

Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('You are not authorized.'));
