Forum OpenACS Q&A: Preventing dual logins

Collapse
Posted by Randy Ferrer on
I remember seeing a post about this on the forums somewhere but can't seem to be able to pull it up again. 😟 I wanted to know if anyone has looked into any solutions to prevent a user from login in twice to the system. More specifically, assuming a viewer is logged into a specific service on a site - I would like to silently log out the user's first active session if a second attempt at a login is made from another computer. I don't necessarily want to block the user from login in twice for the rest of the site, but just for a specific section or service; but if the only way to do it is for the entire site, then that will have to be considered even though it would be a major hassle for the viewers. TIA for any insights.
