IP and Referring URL Authentication Conflict

Administrative: The administrative system restricts institutional accounts to either IP ranges or referring URLs to authenticate users. Institutional subscribers should be able to use both methods of authentication concurrently (e.g. IP authentication for on-campus users, while off-site users are authenticated via referring URL).

WORKAROUND: ALA can set up multiple admin accounts for a single institutional subscriber–one to provide IP authentication, another for referring URLs to authenticate users. (4/29/2009)
