Pre Sales Question about customer login

[Mohawk24]

How with this software can i prevent users from sharing passwords, thus sharing accounts.???


IE i own an camping park i give access to customer A he has in his camp 3 users that is ok to share with, however we dont want him sharing his access with his neighbour and all of their devices????


Your quick answer is greatly appreciated.

You can take advantage of our user attribute "Bind to first login MAC address". In that case, each username will be tied to a single device.

Refer to chapter 3 of firstspot_guide.pdf for more information.

Is there not a way in the configuration to state that a customer may have "x" number of devices under one login???

This feature is available with the other software that im looking at???

[Mohawk24]

Under the Plans tab where it says

When no. of logins exceeds:

Would that cover it, meaning if i say you can have up to 3 devices logged into that account(3 different MAC addresses) anymore and you get suspended???

Or does that setting mean something else???

Actually, you should use user attribute "Multiple Logins" instead.

Just go to Configuration Manager -> Users, click Add, click Multiple Logins and enter 3 in "Max login limit".

Would that require someone to physically do that for each customer who wants that feature???

Would it not be easier to have a plan setup that the customer can choose when they self signup???

Less administration, I have people checking in and out daily.??

I would much rather have this automatic with customer self signin.

Currently, Plan (which Self Sign-up required) doesn't support Multiple Logins user attribute.

We modify the Self Sign-up PHP so that it will support Multiple Logins and assume Max Login of 3. Please download it at below:

http://patronsoft.com/firstspot/download/patch/customization_of_self_signup.zip

Just unzip the file and copy fs_signup.php to the FirstSpot\authserv directory. The Max Login value is set at line 150. We add code at line 149-164 to cater for Multiple Logins.
