Re: software tools to limit access to oracle-driven web sites?

You should be able to control access via ip#, etc as well as username/password. Kind of depends on what you're using for the web server. Pretty sure the OAS built-in web server has this ability. I know for a fact that Netscape Enterprise Server, Apache, and IIS have this ability as well.
