IP Address / User Association

[zmanalpha]

Is there a way to associate IP addresses and user names? I have had to bump the unique ID setting from 5 to 20 per month due to two users. I requested they send me the results of whatismyip.com after I reset the IP logs and saw a half dozen similar IPs that had recently accessed the site.

Also, is there a setting that would bump a user off if another pc logged in with the same ID? I know Wordpress normally allows concurrent logins.

Thanks much, learning more everyday and loving this Plugin!

*bump*

hi- is there an answer to this question? i'm trying to determine this as well. I've tested logging in with the same username/password from two different PCs at the same time... and I was able to successfully authenticate and use one account for two people simultaneously. this isn't ideal for a subscription-based service like i'm offering.

"Also, is there a setting that would bump a user off if another pc logged in with the same ID? I know Wordpress normally allows concurrent logins."

thanks!

You can use the Unique IP Restriction to prevent to many from using the same account. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Unique IP Access Restrictions

s2Member doesn't have a setting to prevent simultaneous logins to an account, but there may be a plugin that does it. Just searched, maybe one of these:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lo ... 1-session/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/single-user-login/

thanks for the clarification, cristian.

does this functionality appear anywhere on the s2member development roadmap?

No, I don't know, sorry. I'll show it to Jason, though.

The good thing is that those plugins may have that covered for now.

question to board members: has anyone used these plugins successfully with wordpress 3.1.x?

so far, "single-user-login" plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sin ... gin/stats/) just doesn't work. it creates a column in users but never updates it when someone logs in. i checked the single php file but couldn't find the problem.

"login only 1 session" plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/log ... ion/stats/). i checked the code and, well, i'm just not comfortable running it on my site (probably because i don't understand it completely).

thanks in advance for any feedback.
