Is it possible to write a plugin to restrict access to certain spaces based on IP Address

[imfilipe]

Hi everyone,

As the title suggests, I am trying to get my head around the possibility of creating a plugin that would allow me to define IP addresses that can access certain confluence spaces.

I was looking into the servlet-filter document (https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/servlet-filter-plugin-module/) but I am not entirely sure on how to use it for this purpose nor if it is the right thing to look at.

Could anyone help and point me to the right direction on how to achieve this by means of a Confluence plugin?

Thank you,

Filipe

Dear @imfilipe,

a total different approach: filter the URLs for specific IPs and spaces with a proxy in front of Confluence. Will definitely cost less time than coding a plugin.

So long
