Enforcing single users

I am using Forms Authentication. What is best practice of enforcing each user to only be permitted to run a single instance of the application. I would like to enforce this even if the authenticated user attempts to connect on a different computer.

Thanks for any advice.

Unless you can identify the user by the computer IP address they are working
from, I don't believe this is possible.

I am looking for a data oriented schema-enforcing XML editor.

I have downloaded many XML editors, both free/open-source and evaluation copies of commercial software but so far none of them fits my requirements. Many of...

Quite a few months back, I was able to create a single sign on app for all apps on a single box (perhaps a domain, but never tested) by setting the auth cookie name to an identical value: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SingleSignOn" loginUrl="login.aspx"> </authentication> I could then surf from app to app on the same box and the cookie, named the same, would allow me to bypass the logon form. I currently have an app in

Some recent posts about Python programming style got me thinking. Since we have the PEP 8 which gives some guidelines about the style to be used, do we have any program that can check for violations of these guidelines within the source code? I understand that there are a lot of code beautifiers out there, but i haven't seen one specially tailored for Python... Is there even a desire in Python community for a program like this (by Python...

Hi, all. I need to enforce a one-to-many relationship on 2 tables, with a join table. Say the join table contains account information. It has cust_no and acct_no. Both cust_no and acct_no are child FKs to other tables (no nulls will exist in these columns). Logically, one customer can have several accounts, but one account can

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
