Without jumping to Apache httpd, you can look at Tomcat's RemoteAddrValve to
limit access to specific IP addresses in your server.xml (this could also be
handled at a lower level---OS, network---as well) and security-constraints in
your web.xml to add HTTP Basic Authentication. Also, using a keystore for your
Connector in server.xml to use SSL might be important depending on the
sensitivity of your repository.
You may want to limit access once someone has access to the DSpace instance by
changing the DEFAULT_ITEM_READ and DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ policies on your
collections before uploads begin.
Hope this helps.

Hi Carl,
here are 2 possible ways to do this:
-> Pull up an .htaccess authentication in front of your repository
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html
-> Keep your repository restricted to your intranet. Instead of serving it
online, you can run it on your internal network within your organization. Even
if your user needs remote access, you could achieve this through VPN access.
If these methods don't fit your specific use case, please feel free to
elaborate on the expected behavior.
best regards,
Bram Luyten

Hello everyone,
How do I turn my DSpace repository into a "dark archive"? I want a repository
not public at all. I want to restrict the use of the repository to one specific
user.
Thank you!
