For our repository, we want to restrict creation of user accounts only to 
requests coming from the machines on our Intranet. I have been trying to 
implement this by inserting the <Files> Directive in the 
'auto-apache.conf' file, but so far I have not been successful. I would 
appreciate if somebody can let me know the right approach to implement 
this feature.

The location of 'auto-apache.conf is:

/opt/eprints3/archives/ArchiveID/var

The 'auto-apache.conf' file  already has the following entries:

<Directory "/opt/eprints3/cgi">
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
     PerlSendHeader Off
     Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

I have introduced the <Files> directive and the <Directory> entry ↵
now 
reads as below:

<Directory "/opt/eprints3/cgi">
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
     PerlSendHeader Off
     Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
     <Files  "register">
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from 10.0.0
     </Files>
</Directory>

Introducing the <Files> directive in the main apache configuration file 
has also not helped. We are using Apache 2.2.4 and Eprints 3.1

Thanks very much for your attention.
