Author Limiting users accessing app instance

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to find out if there is a way to limit users by their IP address or
machine ID through the server XML files. I know you can set the bandwidth
ceiling per application, but this can be tedious if you have to do this cap
for every individual application. I want to prevent users from being able
to open multiple instances on one computer.

Please help,

Hi Roman,

There's a Clienti.ip property. Just don't allow any dups and your job
is done.

HTH,
Bill

Go Miners!

That would really be a bad way to handle things.. for 2 really big
reasons:

1) dead and/or un-garbage collected (terminated) connections.. (they'd
have to wait at least the GC interval.. and hope their connection gets
terminated)
2) users who access the application from behind a router... 1 to many
NAT... they would all be using the same public IP address.

The problem should thus be obvious..

There would have to be some other kind of server-side logic that
inspects activity to the client with a ping and then compares a count
per ip as such.

Jayson,

1) Hadn't thought of that, but you're right. GC would prevent re-
connection. However, on disconnect all IP addresses of leaving
clients could be removed from an array(), no?

2. Good point.

Thanks,
Bill

But that comes back to the issue of "waiting for FCS to really know a
user has disconnected".. clean disconnects are of no consequence here..
it's all about the infamous dirty disconnects that will fail here..
until the GC successfully removes them... (if ever.. lol)

Some other logic will have to be implemented behind the scenes to
satisfy such a desire..
