Is there any method in C5 to limit the number of times a user can login or how many unique IP's that user can login from?
Specifically I'm looking for a method to keep users from sharing their username/password which accesses private/purchased content. Eg: If a user purchases a membership to the site he can only log in from 3 IP's/devices, then a limit is reached and no more logins from new IP's. If the user e-mails all his friends his username/password, they wont all be able to log in before that limit is reached.
Any current methods to enforce this kind of limit or any add-ons that might achieve it?
Looks like you and I are in the same boat on this one. Were you able to figure anything out?
My first though would be to mod the login script by getting a list of logged-in-users, matching the logging-in userID with an ID from the list, and then either running the rest of the script or kicking them back to the login page with a message.
Due to time and budget constraints I didn't get a chance to follow through with this for that project. Hope to get back to this someday when I get the time.
I was interested in this too. But would there be a problem with…
- ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses instead of static? Maybe that is a rarity these days.
-Public wi-fi or large organsiations, or even households that now have more than 1 user, and that only present 1 IP to the world.
