15:44 sbmarks ugh, man….can you guys use subnet notation in defining IP address groups next time you look at that? =)
15:47 pdurbin sbmarks: I'm pretty sure we aren't going to support groups based on IP addresses in Dataverse 4.0
15:47 sbmarks O_O
15:47 sbmarks oh my
15:48 pdurbin :)
15:48 pdurbin pretty sure
15:48 sbmarks this…..is problematic for us
15:48 sbmarks I was just in the process of filing a ticket about this, so maybe that can start a dialogue
15:48 pdurbin I mean, it's not very secure is it?
15:49 sbmarks in terms of somebody walking in to your building and accessing from there, etc?
15:49 sbmarks yeah, but it’s an easy way for us to delimit access based on which university they are from
15:50 sbmarks without having to create a million and one accounts
15:50 sbmarks i guess the replacement is LDAP auth?
15:50 sbmarks =\
15:50 pdurbin or shibboleth?
15:51 sbmarks hrm. maybe. but we do have incidental users, e.g. folks who walk in to the library
15:51 sbmarks hrm.
15:51 sbmarks well, I’ll send an email to support
15:51 pdurbin please
15:51 pdurbin or
15:52 pdurbin start a public discussion at https://groups.google.com/group/dataverse-community or https://lists.iq.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dvn-auth
15:53 sbmarks yeah, good call
15:53 pdurbin hmmm. I should had called that "dataverse-auth". oh well
15:54 sbmarks heheh
15:54 pdurbin :)
15:56 pdurbin generally speaking, it's a challenge to pack all the 3.x functionality in the 4.0 rewrite
15:57 pdurbin but if the lack of a feature is a show stopper... please let us know!
15:58 sbmarks totally
15:58 sbmarks let’s see
19:39 sbmarks oh wow, kind of shocking
19:39 sbmarks i guess people use IP restriction!
20:16 pdurbin hmm?
20:17 * pdurbin looks at Whither IP Groups? - Google Groups - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dataverse-community/hQO1UDMa-yY
20:20 pdurbin sbmarks: thanks for kicking off that thread
20:21 sbmarks pdurbin: my pleasure! you guys are always great on the response
20:21 pdurbin we read and write a lot of email :)
20:31 mbjones joined #dataverse
20:45 pdurbin sbmarks: it's good timing anyway. we're sitting down to think about how to design groups now-ish
