Referrer IP

Rene Kreijveld's Avatar Rene Kreijveld
Hi Peter,

With IP-login, I can set the IP-address of the client. We need a similar solution where we can set the IP-address of the referer. We want to use the referer ip-address combined with secret URL key. Is that possible with IP-login, or is that something that you could add?

Cheers,
René Kreijveld

This is not something IP Login can do. And I don't really see it as something that will be added as a feature.

I am sure you can fork IP Login and change the code to use the referrer IP instead of the visitors IP.

Too bad, I think having the option to choose between the remote IP or the referer IP would be a great addon 😉
I will indeed fork IPlogin then. Thanks.

By the way, I think line 198 of iplogin/src/User.php is missing something...

Can you give a use case of needing the referrer?

We want to use IP Login as a single sign on solution. On a Joomla website we create a unique access key per user.
On the external website we store that access key in the user account on the external website. The user logs in on the external website and the user can then login into the Joomla website by using the unique access key.
To make this more secure I want to set the ip address of the external website as the referrer ip address in the Joomla website.
