[EP-tech] How to create a private archive ?

[gilles.fournie at cirad.fr (Gilles Fournié)]

Hi,

We would like to use EPrints to manage a database of items not related 
to publications nor documents.

For practical reasons, we would like to install this eprints 
pseudo-archive on the same server used for our open archive repository.
So, it would be accessible from internet.

But we need to control access (even for reading) to our employees only.

I have found no way to prevent visitors to access views or even to view 
eprints.
I hoped that overriding EPrints::Repository::allow_anybody to make it 
always return 0 would work, but it doesn't.

Any advices or suggestions on how to make this "close archive" would be 
greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Gilles
