DIS-Allow Multiple Logins, same username / Password

[DeZiner]

I would like to only allow a user to be logged in on one PC at a time to avoid username/password sharing. I would also like to accomplish this without logging them in and out of the database if possible.

Right now, I write to an application variable their userid once they login, or check if their userid exists in that list when they login. All works EXCEPT, how can I remove their userID from that application variable list when their session timesout. My session timeout is set to 19 minutes. When session is over, I need to remove their id from the list. If they click the logout button then I manually remove it and that is no problem.

This is just one way of doing it.
Have a small JScript running on their pages, the Javascript starts a timer, after 19 minutes shows a message and calls a page in the server (letting you know they went away).In that page remove the user name from the list or just call the logout page....

I don't have the code for the timer right now, but you can google it and find small scripts that do this for you.

Thanks for the reply. I found this tutorial, I believe by endless searching here at TT (I forget now) but with a little tweaking it's working great!
