Should several logins, same workstation, cause a problem?

Post by geoff »

A problem occurred when a single user was logged in using 2 tabs on IE. The opening of multiple tabs in internet explorer contaminates the information between records even if the login name is different in each tab. Not noticed until later recall of records.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hi Geoff,

Multiple sessions on the same box using different (or same) user logins is a no no. AwareIM Support stated on another thread that this should be avoided at all costs, along with using the browser back button.

Cheers,
Pete

There is a very nice writeup on this very issue at: http://www.mojavelinux.com/blog/archive ... _tracking/

It has been an issue with all web based apps and I'm hoping that AwareIM will find the time to support a better method

Thanks for replies.

We managed to get it working, 5 seaparate logins, by activating separate sessions of IE instead of mutiple tabs of one session.
