Restrict role navigation by IP address

[Former Member]

In our portal, we are using roles to restrict navigation. However, we now have a need to further restrict the navigations by which IP address the user is coming in from. For instance, if the user is logging in from 10.x.x.x, then allow them to see everything. If they are logging in from some other IP address, then hide navigating to certain roles; like SRM - Go Shopping. This would be very useful in a kiosk situation where the kiosks have static IP addresses and we only want users to access ESS from the kiosk, and not the SRM roles.

Portal does not have standard function allowing this.

I can think of:

1. Additional portal, federated with the main one, with users assigned augmented or reduced roles.

2. Web Dispatcher or other reverse proxy with URL filtering. This may not work, because it is difficult to configure, especially with cached and short urls enabled on the portal.

NEVER use the ip address to acccess the portal .....always use the FQDN...

follow the concept of URL filtering...http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/7a/f2883c18be411ae10000000a114084/content.htm
