Extension containing general utility functions and middleware specific to the DataVic Internal Access Registry (IAR) and Open Data Platform (ODP) instances. The primary feature is an Access Control Middleware implementation that restricts access to the CKAN instance for non-logged-in users. This access restriction can be toggled on or off via the ckan.iar configuration property, making it flexible for different deployment scenarios. When enabled (ckan.iar = True), the middleware ensures only authenticated users can access the portal, which is essential for internal data repositories. The implementation was adapted from existing CKAN 2.2 code from the DataVic project with minor adjustments to integrate into this modular extension. Includes jsonpickle as a dependency for serialization tasks.
