HAN provides the solution:
Automatic user authentication, single sign-on: HAN supports user authentication and allows administrators to grant or restrict specific users' access rights to e-resources. The following user authentication databases are supported: Microsoft NT domains, Microsoft Active Directory Service, Novell NDS, LDAP for Microsoft and iPlanet, SISIS, PICA (LBS and CBS), and ODBC. As a special feature, HAN can also authenticate users by their client IP addresses. When this technique (called "single sign-on") is used, the users no longer have to authenticate interactively. This security concept ensures that only members of the organizational unit that subscribes to the e-resources can access them.
