titleIP Address as weak authentication

Use Case

On the basis of the IP address, we will categorize our users into one of three categories:

User categories

Yale user

Rutgers user

unknown

We have a different Layout consisting of channels presenting public information that we want to associate with each of these groups.

When a user accesses our portal, he is to be categorized based on his IP address into one of these three categories. The portal must present the layout and content associated with that category. The portal must also offer the opportunity to authenticate. Authentication results in a layout based on the user's authenticated identity: a Yale user visiting Rutgers will receive the Rutgers guest layout but upon authentication will get the Yale layout if he has not personalized or his very own layout if he has edited his layout.
