Login specified ip address

[evolve]

Hi

Is there a way when a customer logs in that it only allows a specific ip address to log on? So only that pc can logon to the site?

Regards

you know when we have different customer groups and the customer group can login. Is there a way to only make it log in with the specific ip address?

Or am i asking for the most bizare thing here.

an ip address is a unique number, usually per user of your site.

if they are using a router, and are on the same network, then the ip address for a few users would be the same.

example:
tim is in a cybercafe, with his laptop and logs in.
billy is near him and can also log in, becasue he shares the same ip address.

from what you're suggesting, i'd say that using ip addresses to allow access is a very bad idea.

- do you know the ip address of the person logging in?
- did you know that they change per session?
- do you have a mechanism to stop spoofing?
- will superman ever defeat lex luthor?

in your htaccess:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx is indecent material, usually frowned upon by ones mum.
