Anything is possible - it's just software after all. A better question would
be how possible is this to do a) eadily and b)without annoying the user.
Take the browser issue - if you are able to use cookies multiple windows
from the same browser will be in the same session (the browser will store
the client side cookie in the same place regardless of the open window),
different browsers will store the cookies in different places so if a user
opens another browser then they will not be part of ANY session, meaning
they will need to log-on.
If you are not using (or can't use) cookies then even the single browser
scenario may not work - that then depends on whether the new window was
spawned from the current one, or created afresh, in the second case you will
probably need to get the user to logon.
As for B this may be easier, you'll just need to track the sessions yourself
based on some identifier (such as a user id), store the information in a
database, then you can do pretty much what you want,

Subject: Is Global Session Possible?
Hi,
Is it possible to do either of the following:
(1) Be able to uniquely identify a surfer such that ALL requests (whether
from current browser, spawned browser(s), or other launched browser(s)) use
the SAME session.
OR
(2) As soon as a "new session" is created INVALIDATE ALL other sessions for
a given surfer for reuests whether the session(s) were created from the
current browser, spawned browser, or other launched browser(s).
We have the need for providing a mechanism such that the last access to A
page, by the user from any browser or spawned window, is the ONLY VALID
session.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CREATIVE IDEAS on solving this....
Any help is appreciated...
--Nikolaos
P.S. We can NOT use user names and passwords even if we wanted.
