Introduction

IP based authentication for Django. IP ranges are specified and tied to a user account.

Installation

• Install the django_ipauth package into your path either using buildout, easy_install or pip.
• Make the following changes to your settings.py * Add 'ipauth.backend.RangeBackend' to your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS * Add ipauth to your INSTALLED_APPS * If it isn't already, add django.contrib.auth to your INSTALLED_APPS
• Change your login url to use the ipauth.views.login view.
• Run manage.py syncdb

Using

If you are using the contrib.admin package from Django, you should have a new section in your admin site called Ipauth where you can add Ranges.
