Re: Passwords for Remote Access 

>Posting on behalf of Janice M Jaguszewski

For our library, library.wustl.edu (either telnet or www), access is
limited by IP number within the library machine.  Hence I can access OCLC
without problem.  I forget what package they are using but it serves as a
'front end' on the web and hence detects the IP number and allows access
based on that so that individual users do not need a username or password. 

HOWEVER, a username and password can be given to gain access to all the
services even if the user is accessing by some IP number not in our
domain.

I would guess not.  YOU have to limit the access, not the user.
