Webapp security by IP range

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to apply some webapp security that will kick in for connections made from a certain IP range, and will not kick in for another set of IP ranges.

The scenario is that I want users on our Intranet subnet to not have to authenticate, but if users visit the site from their home Internet connection then they do have to authenticate.

I can't seem to find any examples in the Tomcat manual or web that define a security realm by IP range. Has anyone had any success with this?

Cheers, Jared.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
