Terry, I got ip authentication working in our Dspace.
I just have the below in my authentication-ip.cfg: ip.<grpname> = <ip>, \ In authentication.cfg, I have the below: plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = org.dspace.authenticate.IPAuthentication, org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication Pls note that there is no unnecessary white space in the above configuration line.

I seem to be encountering something similar with IP authentication. I have my ip authentication mapping to a group named X. I have added group: X to a larger DSpace group Y. Group Y can access collections/items/bitstreams. If I connect from my designated IP, I am unable to access the items that Group Y can access. But, if I give group X explicit access to an item/collection/bitstream, then I am able to access the objects.

It should be easy to test. Anyway, I can't imagine why you'd want to remove PasswordAuthentication - you need that one to log in as DSpace administrator. If you don't have any other accounts defined for PasswordAuthentication, it doesn't hurt in any way.
