Prevent multiple logins with a single user name

[bernyperera]

Hi everyone,

Please let me know how to prevent multiple logins from a given user name in 5.5.0 CE.

ie. One user can log in ONLY from one location at any given time.

Thanks
Berny

You can tie a login to an IP address ... but that won't prevent multiple logins with the same username ... restricting this would prevent users from being able to access Sugar simultaneously on different devices .. at any one time our users can have sugar open on a mobile phone, a laptop and a desktop PC.

The Flag Validate user IP address is used to
" * Make sure a user isn't stealing sessions so check the ip to ensure that the ip address hasn't dramatically changed".

This "dramatical" change is handled in module /modules/Users/autehtication/SugarAuthenticate/SugarAuthenticate.php
in function validateIP(), so perhaps you can define the definition of "dramtical" a little bit closer to your needs in that function.

Thank you sirs,

I understand that there is no specific way to achieve this.

Alternatively, is it possible to capture the login/logout time stamps of the users, given a date range ?

Thanks & Regards,
Berny

In SugarForge there is an login audit module, just search for "login audit" on the main page of sugarforge.
This module traces all login requests, successful or not.

Thank you,

It's unfortunate to see that this module is for 5.0.
I am using 5.5.0 CE.
Is it upgradable to 5.5.0 CE ?

But... if you want to audit the IP number of the login requests, you could want to use the IP-Version of that login audit attached to this post.

Thank you Kuske,

The Login Audit module works perfectly on 5.5.0 CE.

But, tt looks like the IP version is meant for 5.5.0 P and not for 5.5.0 CE.
I tried it on CE, managed to install without errors, but to see only blank entries.

Does this IP version support 5.5.0 CE ?
