How to put an IP address based limit to authentication of users?
I would like to put some IP restrictions on login so some users can only connect from their designated workstations. How can I achieve this?
AFAIK there is no such control mechanism in openERP, can I achieve this by moving authentication to the another entity like LDAP or OpenID ?

You're machine's firewall(s) is where policies are enforced concerning the handling of network packets, including connection specific access restrictions for IP ranges. Setting rules like allowing/denying service based on the source's IP address is, in fact, the purpose of a firewall.
If you're running a Linux-based system you can configure the kernel's firewall with iptables.

[href="wiki.debian.org/iptables"]Debian's guide on iptables[/href]. Also includes links for a few less technical tools.
If you are running a *nix system, you also may be able to accomplish what you're trying to do by adding entries in the 'hosts.allow' and 'hosts.deny' files respectively (if OpenERP supports it); I would still recommend using your firewall (see [href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77481"]this link[/href].
I want to add IP restrictions on login so some users can only connect from their designated workstations. So If I put restrictions in firewall level no one will be able to login from that machine.
ubuntu 12.04
sudo apt-get install firestarter && sudo firestarter, then go through wizard. After wizard is done, go to 'Policy' tab and create new.
Geoff firewall cannot solve my problem. I want to limit connection based on users and ip.
Set up a reverse proxy. It'll require two levels of authentication but Nginx or Apache should do it: http://serverfault.com/questions/311710/how-to-act-differently-according-to-the-ip-address-with-nginx
