Captive Portal logon - Is it possible to disallow a user logging on from multiple devices?

bsanders — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:01:15 GMT

Hello all,

We are in the process of setting up a Captive Portal. All works fine. When a user is member of a defined AD security group, she can log on to the captive portal on a device (Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, etc), which opens the way to be able to browse the internet from that device.

The user can log on to various machines at the same time, without being logged of (and as such disconnected from the internet) on the first device when logging on on the second (and further) device.

My question is: Is it possible for us to disallow a user to log on to the portal twice, by -1- logging of the user automatically on the other device, or -2- by denying the logging on when the user is still logged on to the first device?

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan. We do not support the disallow of user from logging on from multiple devices. Thanks.
