Question

I must have some sort of syntax error somewhere, because both correctip and loginip are equal but my code is still saying they are not equal.

        if(correctip != loginip){
            event.disallow(null, "Access is denied to user " + name + ". If you believe this is in error, contact an admin.");
            System.out.println(loginip);
            System.out.println(correctip);
            System.out.println("[Denied] HIGHRISKUSER " + name + " denied login. IP Att: " + loginip + " | IP Cor: " + correctip);
        }else{
            System.out.println("[Allowed] HIGHRISKUSER " + name + " allowed login. IP Att: " + loginip + " | IP Cor: " + correctip);
        }

Both correctip and loginip are EXACTLY equal. Is there something else that could be causing problems?

Answer 1

correctip and loginip might be String. In that case, you should use the equals comparator:

if(correctip != null && correctip.equals(loginip)) {
    //your logic goes here...
}
