Hi All! I am looking for a solution, I want a user to do a single Login only on a PC . E.g. If a User has logged on my website website.com in Internet explorer, then he cant login on same website in another browser like Firefox etc with same loginid or another. Can I trace MAC address of a single machine to solve this issue? Or is there a concept of GLOBAL COOKIE / Cross Browser Cookie which will work for all browsers in a single machine.. I hope You will help me out Regards Jagdeep Singh +91 9988009272
Jagdeep: I don't think this is solvable. You can make it such that if a person is logged-in that they cannot log-in again until they log-out of their current session -- that's do able. But using IP addresses, or trying to sniff the machine, or other such attempts at identifying user will most certainly be problematic and not solve the problem.
