Different roles depending of URL?

Question

Hello,
we want to implement access to our Portal EP 6.0 SP9 from Intranet and Internet.
User should get different roles depending the URL.
Example:
Intranet URL: http://server:50000/irj/portal -> role A
Internet URL: https://domain.de/portal -> role B
Reason is security, critical systems are only in role B.
How can I do that?
Thanks
Frank

Frank,
my I propose a different approach? I looks as if you want to separate internal users (entering without proxy server) and edxternal users (coming through a proxy). Why not simply create an additional authentication scheme for internal users (probably the higher priviledged ones). Build a custom login module that checks the origin of the user (internal/external, e.g. based on the request's IP address).
Now, you have two authschemes, say "internal" and "external". Assign "internal" a higher priority value than "external" and assign this authscheme to all critical content.
Thus, all users that want to access this content, need to pass the "internal" authscheme. Users coming from external willl fail this test and thus can't access the critical content.
Hope this helps you. If so, please mark this question as closed and reward points. Otherwise give some lines why this is not helpful for you - or if you need further assistance.
