      User is able login and surf to multiple pc's

      A user with one account can authenticate to multiple pc's simultaneously, is there a way to force on user to access one pc only and be kicked out if accessing 2 pc's with one account?

      Captive Portal setup as follows:
      Enabled
      Interface:lan
      Idle timeout: 60 m
      Hardtimeout 120
      Logout popup: checked
      Disable concurrent login: checked
      Disable Mac filtering: checked
      Authentication: local user manager

      Thank you in advance

        @hadi57:

        Disable concurrent login: checked
        Disable Mac filtering: checked

        Disable concurrent login should provide what you have asked for. But why did you check "disable mac filtering"? Not sure if those two settings might be contraproductive. I suggest unchecking the mac-option and try again.

          On my installation users can use the same logins too. Enabling MAC control doesn't help. 24h after enabling captive portal server stopped responding with error: to many dynamic rules.

            Hi,
            User is still able to login to multiple pc's simultaneously with one username and password.

            Captive Portal setup as follows:
            Enabled
            Interface: LAN
            Idle timeout: 60 m
            Hard timeout 240
            Logout popup: checked
            Disable concurrent login: tried both (checked and unchecked)
            Disable Mac filtering: unchecked
            Authentication: local user manager
            thanks
