Re: [Zope] Authentication depending on client domain ?

This is perhaps not a strict Zope problem, but I need to have some parts of an extranet wiewable WITHOUT authentication from the LAN but WITH authentication from Internet. Has someone an idea for this ? Zope could do that in earlier versions automatically:

If a user had an empty password and a domain restriction, requests from this domain were authenticated automatically as this user. It was considered a security hole (request IP addresses can quite easily be forged) and disabled by default. There is a method that enables the previous behaviour. Search the mailing list archives or look at the sources ("AccessControl.User") to find its name. Dieter
