We have a requirement in dspace 3.2 in which users from a particular

from dspace without any username-password authentication, at the same time
users from public domain must be prompted to submit a formal request for
accessing the required files.
What all things to be done to achieve this objective? I came across IP
Authentication feature, but I am not able to understand how it works. Please
help.
Hi Pushkin,
the documentation for the IPAuthentication plugin:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-IPAuthentication
Using this plugin, you can put clients from an IP range into a certain
DSpace group. You can then use permissions on individual items to
allow/deny access to that group as needed. In your case, you want to
remove the READ permission from the Anonymous group from all items and
add the READ permission for your IP-based group to any items you need.
Also beware of this pitfall (you can also read there how to change
permissions in bulk):
