I have developed an MVC web app. Right now, the client using this app in office area. The client has requested that no one should use this app on any device except the office's PC/tablets.

Now problem is, it's a web app, so how can I put restrictions that nobody can use this app from the outside of the office or with devices other with than office's PC/Tablets?

  • If you need it be used only in an environment deploy it in the environment alone `(e.g) portal applications` – Santhosh Aug 05 '14 at 05:31

The usual approach to that problem is maintain a database of authorized MAC addresses. The next part is harder, because Java provides no mechanism to get the remote mac address. See this question. Given that I would require users authenticate to the web application, if an authorized user is on the device you could consider that device authorized. If that doesn't work, you might be able to use white-listed IP address ranges. If that doesn't work I think you're back to MAC addresses.
