helper. It's called out-of-band authorization.
Are there any docs or howtos around on this? We use authentication one one
subnet, but it's a bit of a pain. We're not really that concerned to
require people to remember passwords, we just want to work out who the user
is with a reasonable level of accuracy. Authenticated proxies seem to
break various clients so if out-of-band might be an interesting
alternative.

Nothing easy to understand tat I know of. It's kind of wrapped in the
specific local management systems you use, to pull the IP out of the
request and compare it to some local database.
