According to the 18.11 manual page at < https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/systempreferences.html#restr...
, a page can be configured so that it is accessible only to users accessing it from specific IP addresses/ranges. The information isn't entirely clear, but I take it to mean that the user need not be authenticated to view the page as long as their machine is at a designated IP address. It's also unclear whether authenticated users should be able to access the restricted page unless they are at a designated IP address. I'm taking it to mean that the restricted page should be accessible to any authenticated user or to unauthenticated users at a designated IP address
In testing this feature, I can access the restricted page when I am authenticated. But I cannot access the restricted page if I am at a designated IP address -- I am prompted to log in, and only then can I access the page. I'm wondering whether I'm not entering the IP address correctly. The manual page isn't entirely clear on that from the examples it gives. I'm assuming that I can enter a complete IP address (four octets) or several IP addresses separated by commas. If I want to enter a range, it looks like I just need to enter the beginning two or three octets, and maybe end with a dot (.) followed by a caret (^) (or is the caret a typo and meant to be a quotation mark?). Anyway, I've tried entering a complete IP address and a range, but so far nothing has worked. Have I missed something, or have I run into a bug? The original feature request for this is at < https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13485 > in case that's useful. Thanks for any assistance. -- Andy Boze, Associate Librarian University of Notre Dame 271H Hesburgh Library (574) 631-8708
