add whitelist option for authentification of specific IPs or network addresses

[B3rt]

Please add an option to whitelist IP addresses or network addresses (local network) to access webif without any authorization.

For example when connected from IP range 192.1.68.1.0/24 then there is no authorization needed, connected from an other network range then you must enter username/password.

Also it would be great if it was possible to add seperate users to authorize instead of the main box user (root).

That's already possible: Any Linux user on the box can log in. OWIF also already has an option to disable root logins.

Then we only need to implement "disable login for local network" defined like "192.168.1.0/24"

[Schimmelreiter]

We could turn "require login" a tri-state: Always, external, never

Currently it's "Yes/No".

Sounds good, but we have an auth switch for http and https and these settings needs to be merged from the current yes/no. Otherwise the current setting will be lost.

I do not mean any user of the box.... Separate users, an option to create a users in webif itself, most user have no linux experience or even knowhow of a console, so to create a user must be simple from the webinterface itself.

Where in webif can you disable root login? I cannot find it and if root login is disabled how do you login then, which user? I myself have NOT created any extra users on my box.
