Redmine / ChiliProject - Restrict login by ip address

Question

I would like to restrict access to certain users of a redmine/chiliproject install as long as they are coming from a certain ip address or a certain range of ip addresses.

Is there a plugin for this or is there an easy (ie quick simple) way of doing this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you use an apache server to serve the static files and proxy requests to redmine, you could use mod_authz_host of apache and add some rules to the configuration of your site. For example:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 64.34.119.12
