I think sometimes is good to restrict the access of the users. I got a
recently requirement for a customer (for security reasons):

"The user can run oly one session into the system".

The idea is that if you are already loged-on a computer. You cannot run
another session with the same username and password. Also nobody can use
your username and password to go into the system, because you are already
using it.

Of course if the user need to move to another computer, he must first logoff.

I know that this requeriment is unusual. But some companies has this kind
of rules of bussiness. ;-)

I thinked that we can change the authentication manager to set some
parameters into this area. What you think?

Please note this is not a License issue, this is a security issue. ;-)

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.
