Restrict user sessions

Post by bomahony »

Hey folks, me again.
I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the amount of logins per user. Basically I am trying to change a NOCs methodology of using a shared account for everything. They still do need a shared account for a set of screens, and will probably need that password in case the screen is banjaxxed and they have to log in. We want them to use their own individual accounts. So I wanted to make it if one of them log in with the shared account, then the screens on the wall would log out.
I can see session ti8meout variables etc, but nothing to restrict logins.

Regards
B

Hello, @bomahony. Unfortunately, there is no setting to allow this kind of arrangement. Nagios does not keep track of apache sessions. In theory, there might be a way to create a custom script that would log the user out if a certain condition is met but that would be a custom dev project.
