How to Prevent duplicate logins?

Posted by ramesh_drupal on January 13, 2009 at 6:55pm

Hello Drupalians,

Am new to drupal and dont have much knowledge about the drupal core.Am trying to create a website using Drupal 6.x where the users account are managed in subscription basis(user can buy an account and use it for a certain period of time).I just want to prevent users buying a single account and many people using it.I dont find this feature in drupal user management by default.I could identify the module "Single login" which provides the same functionality but it is available up to drupal5.x .Applying any patches to the user module will work?Please help me to prevent simultaneous logins with the same user account in Drupal 6.X.

Thanks in advance.

There's an issue for the d6

There's an issue for the d6 version of the http://drupal.org/project/single_login module in the issue.

Keep in mind, though, that preventing simultaneous login's is merely an inconvenience-- it does nothing to prevent users from sharing the login/password and using it at different times.

LOL, as great as drupal is-- it's not a psychic. afaik, there's no way for drupal to know which person is entering a particular login/password.
