[Dspace-general] Limiting Access in Dspace

As well as the options already suggested, you could consider using 'IP
authentication'. This authentication option examines the IP address of the
user to decide what privileges to grant them. Privileges can be granted to
users of computers on-campus.

See: http://www.dspace.org/images/onepointfivedocs/dspacemanual_15_may.zip

IP authentication is detailed at the bottom of page 90.

Thanks,


Stuart
