[Archive-access-discuss] Disable http authentication popup when using IP address authentication?

[Ko, L. <Lau...@un...>]

For authentication in one of our openwayback instances we use org.archive.wayback.authenticationcontrol.IPMatchesBooleanOperator and specify what IP ranges can access certain collections. This URL's content, http://webarchive.library.unt.edu/unt/fall2013/20131203174453/http://www.unt.edu/, should not be visible except on our campus, and it seems to work. The issue I would like to resolve is that when a user has an IP address outside of the allowed range, as with the example URL, an HTTP authentication dialog opens up prompting the user to enter a user name and password. I would like to prevent this dialog from opening, since I am not configuring any users to have valid login credentials here. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
