Authenticate by IP address in Django

Question

I have a small Django application with a view that I want to restrict to certain users. Anyone from a specific network should be able to see that view without any further au

Answer 1

def login_by_id(request):
    ip = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']
    try: UserProfile.objects.get(allow_ip=ip)
    except UserProfile.DoesNotExist: return HttpResponseRedirect('././')
    else:
        # auth here

You need allow_ip in you UserProfile model, which save on registration or changes on edit user page
