configuring IDP authN to use IPAddress for some devices ....

Hi,

Our IDP is configured to use the UsernamePassword handler (and kerberos) 
for logins. We've been asked to "auto-magically" login some of the 
public devices available in the lobby of the library.

The IPAddress Handler would seem to address this situation.

Ideally, I'd like to configure the IDP to:

-- try the IPAddress Handler; if that succeeds then proceed.

-- if that fails, then try the UsernamePassword handler.

However, for accessing arbitrary SPs, can the IDP be configured to do 
that sequence ? I suspect not, but its worth asking ....

For a specific SP, could I configure that SP to request [IPAddress, 
UsernamePassword] and would they be tried in that order ?

Thanks!
