ip_authenticated users are not able to register for accounts. I get access denied for ip_authenticated users just like for any other user.

It looks like the ip_authenticator login block was SUPPOSED to provide that functionality but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Am I correct that the intention was to have ip_authenticated users bypassing drupal's default functionality of denying access to user/register for any authenticated user?

I really need this to work, because I am using ip_authenticator for our intranet and need users (initially ip_authenticated) to be able to register for their own accounts.

I believe this is normal behaviour. Once you are authenticated as an Drupal user -- as it happens, via an IP match -- then you perform actions as that user. You cannot create a sub-user of a Drupal user account.

It seems to me you in fact need individual user accounts plus some other (not ipAuthenticator) way of IP-based access barrier.
