Questions King Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Any control just one Account name can login into filemeker database, if another one use the same user name to log in! give the person some error.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 What's the error message? Remember that in FM7 and 8 passwords are case sensitive. "password" is not the same as "Password"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 It wasn't easy to decipher ... "... if another one use the same user name to log in! give the person some error." Questions King, It sounds like you want to STOP a second User from logging in with the same Account Name and password and, if they try, produce a warning or error message. Could you explain a bit more than two sentences? :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 This can be done at the OS level and FileMaker Server will honor it. You can setup logon such that the Account can be logged on only once at a time. You can also decide which CPU the Account must use as well, IIRC.

LaRetta Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I would be happy to help but I've never done it (and even if I had I wouldn't trust how I did it). I had just noticed that your original post wording might be misinterpreted, so I wanted to help clarify for Wim (and Steven). They will help you (they are the experts at this) and I will take notes so I learn it also. Steven might have given you the answer? :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Steven gave the right answer: use External Authentication and limit the concurrent logons at the OS level. Then you don't have to worry about it in FileMaker... Alternatively you'll need to keep a list in your file of all currently logged-in accounts and check with each new log on. There's a bit of a security risk with that though. You don't want to store security info as normal data info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
