Re: [Phplib-users] preauth using cidr

[Paul W. <pa...@zz...>]

I fixed my own problem. I forgot to convert the remote host ip. This
code appears to work for anyone interested:


$cidr = $valid_client; /* db value 192.55.192.0/24 */
list ($quad, $nbits) = split ("/", $cidr, 2);
$byte = explode (".", $quad);
$address_required = ($byte[0] << 24) | ($byte[1] << 16) | ($byte[2] <<
8) | $byte[3];
				
/* remote host info */
$byte = explode(".", $ip); /* ip from $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR']
*/
$address_client = ($byte[0] << 24) | ($byte[1] << 16) | ($byte[2] << 8)
| $byte[3];
				
$bitmask = 0xffffffff << (32 - $nbits);			
if (($address_client & $bitmask) == ($address_required & $bitmask)) {
	$this->auth['uname'] = $this->dbAuth->f('ID');
	$this->auth['perm'][$this->dbAuth->f('Service')] = 1;
	$success = 1;
}
