I'm receving the following msg when trying to log-in to depot server:
"Unable to log in to server! Error: Already logged in"

The problem is, I'm actually not logged in.

This probably due to a past session that hasn't be closed grace or a lost of conenction from my notebook, anyway, would be nice if the server module had some kind of timeout value that automatically forces logs off on idle users.

cheers,

Hello,

when you receive the message that you are already logged in but you are not, this can indeed be a problem with a lost connection. Then the server admin can disconnect the user manually in the Password Depot Server control panel.

We will forward your request for a timeout value so that idle users are automatically logged off, maybe this can be realized in a next version.

Best regards

Hello,

We have the same problem.

We are a hosting organzation with 8 people using Password Depot, connecting to the Password Depot server.

Several times a day, different people get "Allready logged in" and the Server administrator must manually disconnect them.

Is there any information on when a new release with this fixed will be released?

Some sort of "Connection timeout" as you describe would help us alot.

Thank you!

Hello,

In addition to the timeout discussed above, the following would be very efficient:

Problem:
- When your network connection drops out and reconnects (Wireless LAN, VPN connections, etc) Password Depot client looses connection to Password Depot Server. When trying to login again with Password Depot Client, you get the "Allready logged in" message and it's impossible to logon to Password Depot Server.
- If the user was editing any file in "Change mode" the file is also locked and no one can open the file in change mode.

Feature Request, Solution:
- The Password Depot Client is equiped with a "Unique Identifier" (Ex: GUID). The "Unique identifier" is set either during the installation of Password Depot Client, or provided by the Password Depot Server, at each successfull login.
- The Password Depot Server keeps track of the logged on users AND from which "Unique id" they are logged on.
- When a user has lost connection and tries to logon again, he specifies his username and password as usual. When the Password Depot Server sees that the "user is allready logged on", the server requests the "Unique ID" from the client. IF the "Unique ID" is the same (as recorded at the at the last login), the Password Depot Servern "knows" this is a reconnect from the exact same client and can accept user login immediately. The User does not have to wait for a "timeout".
- Please observe that the security is not compromised, since you still have to perform a normal login when doing the reconnect.
- This solution could also make it possibly to reconnect to a session with a file in "Change mode".

Hello,

thank you for your feedback.

We will forward your suggestion to our developers, so that this can be implemented in a next version of Password Depot.

Best regards

We are really happy with Password Depot Server but do have the same problem and have to unlock password files several times a day. I hope that this problem will be solved soon.

Any news or schedule on Depot Server updates?

Hello,

on my inquiry I was told that Password Depot Server is next in line for a program update. Thus, it will hopefully be released soon, although there is no specific date yet. We will inform you as soon as there is any news.

Best regards
