Dear all,

We've recently upgraded from 5.1 to 6.0. We encountered a problem for our
ip range restriction feature.

In 5.1, we set READ restriction by ip range to all bitstream of certain
collection. If an anonymous user is in the ip range, this user doesn't need
to login to open the bitstream. But in 6.0, even the anonymous user is
indeed in the ip range, this user still needs to login to open the
bitstream. The problem is that we have disabled the new user registration
feature. So now NONE of the anonymous users within the ip range can open
this collection's bitstreams.

I've tested our new configuration of ip range restriction. It seems to be
correct because I logged in with my testing account in the ip range and I
can open the bitstream and also my profile has listed as a member of this
restriction group.

Question:

Is this change of behavior intended for 6.0? If so, I guess we have to
enable the new user registration.

Or it's just a bug?


Thanks in advance for any tip and help!
