I'm after some advice on a scenario my customer wishes to implement.
They have an existing site e.g www.mainsite.com on an internal lan, and they wish that site to have a protected area which will only become available if the users's ip is the correct one for access, they do not want a login box to appear.
And secondly they want the that user to have their own media section, like a media2 folder or something.
I was thinking just make a separate umbraco install on subdomain.mainsite.com, which would be nice and clean, or would it be possible with multiple sites what with the ip check and the seperate media folders and all.
sounds a bit flakey... a one to one mapping, user to ip.... what if they use a different pc in the same office? or wireless as opposed to ethernet??? wouldn't dhcp mean a different private address, and that's before you consider if the site is external all you'll get is the public facing external ip of the office....
we have used somthing in the past where an intranet depending on the ip (the public external ip of the clients office) automatically logged in a single intranet user. (just a simple user control parsing the inbound ip and auto loggin in)
Multiple Site or Seperate Site on sub domain
Hey all
