| Re: preventing multiple simultaneous logins *URGENT* |
| by m0nty on 2004/4/15 1:41:05 another problem that will arise and irritate some users if the custom session was shortened to 4 minutes is the fact that sometimes when browsing or reading a forum post or even when typing your reply.. if it takes u longer than 4 minutes to reply to type your reply.. ie the kettle boils and u make a cuppa or the phone rings etc.. you finish ur reply, hit submit and then get an error because ur session has timed out and u have to login again... hence in sum cases u would have to totally re-write ur reply again.. you could look into issuing a permanent cookie that's seperate from the session cookie.. ie each user (if this method is enabled) will have a permanent cookie with a keycode or some other identification in it.. if that cookie is not found on ur computer then the user will not be able to login. if this cookie is mistakenly deleted the user could request a new cookie to be issued by the use of a registration key or something.. or the webmaster cud issue a new cookie via email which the user would copy to their cookie folder. this would be ideal for intranet sites in companies and would make only 1 pc per user access.. of course on internet if u at your friends house then u wouldn't be able to login from there unless u kept a copy of ur cookie with you (maybe save ur cookie in a web based email acct) i maybe way out here driving on the impossible, i can't seem to put into text exactly what i was thinking.. |

| by tl on 2003/10/12 3:02:59 Nope. Maybe GIJOE will have better suggestions. I tested the custom session setting. It did not work. For now, I would suggest set a longer time. But if the user knows the trick, setting to a longer time will not help but irritate your users if they forget to logout. |
