I have obtained my users IP address in the "pagelayout.tpl", and based on the IP address I should tell EZ that the user is of a special user group so that the user is automatically logged in and do not have to log in manually. Do anyone have any suggestions on how to tell eZ that my user is of a special user group so that he/she automatically is logged in?

I would be very glad to here some suggestions (newbie in this game...:) )

With the Single Sign On handler plugin system this could be easily accomplished.
It will be included in eZ publish 3.8 ( http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.8/single_sign_on_handler.txt )

Thank you very much for answering me!

Unfortunately, I have to program this on eZ 3.7.2 on a project going on right now, so I have to figure out a different way to do this. Would be very glad to here more on alternative solutions :)

I am thinking on writing a Javascript in my "Pagelayout.tpl" that automatically sends in username/password, but I am not really confident if this is right solution.

You could try to backport the Single Sign On plugin system to eZ 3.7 ;-) It was committed on the trunk in SVN rev. 15462, and you only have to modify one kernel file, so I guess it's the most ez way.

Good luck!

I can confirm that SSO works with 3.7 after applying the patch. You can generate patch by running

svn diff -r 15461:15462
