Concurrent online users sharing the same account

Hi,

Is it possible to block the login process if the same user session is already currently in use by someone else on another pc? We have users that are sharing their accounts (user id and password), but we don't want them to be online in the same time using this account.

Thanks,

Re: Concurrent online users sharing the same account

Hi,

Several years ago someone implemented a way to force a single session per user, it is disabled by default and I have not used it myself so I'm not 100% sure whether there are any side effects or problems enabling it, but you can give it a try by adding this to your user.config file:

then touch web.config to make it recycle the app and reload settings.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Concurrent online users sharing the same account

Hi Joe,

I had a user request to add this restriction. I tried putting in the key and recycled the app, but it doesn't work. Is there something else I need to change in web.config or user.config?

Thanks

Re: Concurrent online users sharing the same account

Hi,

I managed to fix the issue. Originally, the security settings on all the pages were set to Authenticated Users since it's a closed site. What I had to do was to also set the security settings of each of the features/modules from All Users to Authenticated Users.

Thanks
