Hi Pete,
thanks but i think putting up 2 instances and going over the port
number is more secure.
Checking for the REMOTE_ADDR is not good i think because you can easily
fake it by pretending to have an IP address of our network.
Thanks anyway:-)
Cheers Christian

Just thought of this one...
You could make a configurable setting that takes ranges of IP
addresses.
Based on whether the client falls in this range, let them see the
special/extra information. This is very easy to do, just check for the
REMOTE_ADDR in the headers.

Hi Pete,
we wanted to avoid a login. Our network users should just see more
info's then others, without a login.
Thanks anyway

Well, it sound like you want to show more information based on user. I
would suggest doing this by roles and permissions. Then, based on the
logged in user's permissions, in your application show/hide
appropriate information. This would also allow varying degrees of
access (via
permissions) instead of either on/off.

Thanks for that one,
we have a network in our institute and all request from there connect
to a different Webserver then all other visiting our site
(application). I wanted to show the people from our network more
information as all others.
I first thought of making 2 applications but if i would make changes
in
one of them i would have to do it on the other one as well.
Our people should get one menu item more to see and select.
I think both solutions are not the best way, because you can fake
them. at least the second. The information for our employees is secret
and no one else should read it.
Thanks anyway,
maybe someone else has an idea...

Two ways I can think of, each are ugly.
1) On the request object call applicationNumber(), this will tell you
which instance in the webservers list of applications you are
calling.
You would most likely need to use a static WOConfig.xml in order to
manually set the instance numbers so each webserver references your
application as a different range. 1-10 is webserver A and 11-20 is
webserver B.
2) Use a different domain on each webserver and again interact with
the request object to determine where you are coming in through.
Again, these are both ugly, and I am wondering why you would want to
know this anyway? Why would your application need to know which
webserver serviced the request?

Now i wanted to know if there is a way how the application could
check

Thanks in advance
