Thanks Michael.

If I do a second installation that I want to be completely public, can I just 
bypass this and turn off authentication altogether? It doesn't seem that I can 
turn off internal authentication without getting an error. We want this 
dashboard to be completely public, not restricted by IP or anything like that.

Would it make sense to insert a link in the UI from the public installation to 
the protected instance's login screen, and then redirect on logout from the 
protected instance to the public instance, to simulate logging in and out of 
one instance? 

Thanks,
Sarah
