AutoRole

Warning

This product has not had a release in over 1 year and may no longer be maintained.

AutoRole is a PAS plugin which can automatically add a role for (anonymous or logged-in) visitors from the local network.

Project Description

AutoRole can add a role to users coming in from local networks. The users will stay anonymous, but get an additional role.

 

This is done by checking IP address of the request against a list of private and local IP address ranges:

• 10.0.0.0/8  (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255)
• 172.16.0.0/12  (172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255)
• 192.168.0.0/16  (192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255)
• 169.254.0.0/16  (169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255)
  

 

Note that 169.254.0.0/16 is a block of private IP addresses used for random self IP assignment where DHCP servers are not available.
