[Dspace-general] Restricting Collections

[Matthew Ballard]

If you want to restrict access to all of DSpace to on-campus users (or 
off-campus through a proxy server), then it's possible through the 
configuration of Tomcat (with extra tricks available through Apache if you 
use Apache/mod_jk/Tomcat, which is what I did).  Feel free to e-mail for 
details if interested in how I did it.

For specific collections, there's no way to restrict by IP address that I 
know of.
