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.

• Made the upper end of the range optional
• Fixed a bug in the Range model clean method if upper is null

0.1 (2011/06/17)

• IPAddressFormField for inputting IP Addresses
• IPAddressModelField for storing IP addresses as integers (so math works)
• Range Model for storing IP Ranges tied to a user account
• Range Authentication backend
• A login view wrapper that attempts to login via IP first
