The important thing is to notify the users about the restricted access ahead of time and give instructions on what to do if a problem occurs. When a problem does occur, the users simply sends a request to reset their account. This provides a way to monitor potential suspicious activity. So far it has worked very well, and only a couple of resets are required a month for a base of about 1,000 users.

Hi,
I am about to deploy a system for B 2 B ordering. Does anyone know of a way,
to set up user accounts from the customers desktop and capture some unique
identifier from his PC so that in the future, if someone tried to log in
using their username/password from another desktop, it would not work?
I don't mean to be too paranoid. Just wanting to lock things down as much as
is possible to protect us and protect the customer's information.
Running Witango on OSX Panther Server, 10.3.8. Witango 5.5. Apache 1.3.
( And thanks to Robert Garcia, we have not experienced a single crash at
this point after 2 months. Not a high volume site though, but so far fast
and reliable. We have a date handling anomaly that I think is a witango
issue, but other than that life is good. )
