What would be involved in extending AuthUser to grant access
based on IP address?
Specifically, would it be possible to grant read access to
requests from a specific IP address, based on that address
being defined as a username on SiteAdmin.AuthUser?
A number of sites using the PublishPDF library also use AuthUser
to control access. Currently, the only way to support this is to
make local/config.php detect incoming requests from the IP address
of the PDF server and set a username and password.
It would be tidier if the administrator could configure this
through the wiki, without having to set up a special username
and password. Requests from that IP address would be given read
access, without having to enter a password.
Is this something that can be done as a local customisation or
does it require changes to scripts/authuser.php?
