[EP-tech] IP Based access on restricted documents

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Raja,

Yes, there should be settings for this in your archive's 
cfg/cfg.d/security.pl.? Be careful to make sure you the function to 
lookup the IP addess looks like:

my $ip = $eprint->repository->remote_ip();

As the older way of doing this breaks in recent versions of Apache and 
can make documents publicly accessible you would not otherwise intend to be.

Regards

David Newman
