How to prevent double logins to a members area?
 

How can you prevent two users to enter members area with same username at the same time??

If I understand correctly the method in which apache authenticates users prevents this (meaning it can't be done).

How to solve this problem???

Bump :liebe028:

if they can't do it here then i don't know if it can be done.

well, you can do it by IP as well.
There are lots of solutions to the problem, and a lot of off the shelf solutions. You could give StrongBox a go.

StrongBox could be the solution. I have to look more into it...

Try this: http://www.pennywise.com
works really great, even in free trial mode.

Yup, Strongbox is pretty good :2 cents:

i tried that before but it didn't work.

either stick their IP in a database and bounce them to the login if it is a different IP than the "current" one...

Or you could cookie them with some sort of token and do the same thing.

Sessions.

Not a good idea since many are on AOL proxies which means a diff IP each page load.

pennywise or strongbox

Use Pennywise... its great!

Good point. Session cookie is the way to go.
