Ichat user details showing as "another" user

Question

I have a MacMiniServer 10.8 that is running the Address Book for my company
I have a shared AddressBook that all users access for all Company data
Several of my users have been complaining that their iChat "User" name was being displayed as another member of staff.
I have had them set their own "My Card" details to themselves.
This then changes their own display name shown in iChat.
However this then affects another member of staff.
Then changing that member of staffs "My Card" changes either the original user or someone else.
It does not seem to affect all users.
I have tried getting users to create a "Local" Vcard in AddressBook and set "My Card" to that, but it is still affecting other users.
Sometimes the users have a Local and a Networked address book entry both showing as "Their" card at the same time.
Has anyone any experience of this and advice of how to stop this behaviour
I asked this question under ichat "discussions" and was advised to ask it here also
Regards Tony

Hi
enter their details (including
credit card details) directly without logging in (is
this bad practice?).I would not say this was "bad practice" as most sites where people pay for items by credit card are public. They do however use Secure connections to ensure that the data being sent to the server is protected.
I will need to look into this further to try and figure out a way to kill the session, or at least mark it as old. However as a work around you can always clear the cache for items on the page. This will reset the values of the items. Create a Process to clear the cache after you have done all your other processing. This way at least if someone else visits the site using the same session id, there will be no data visible to them.
PS. I would disable the ability for users to enter financial details in your app until this is fixed, as I personally would not be too happy that my card details could potentially be visible to anyone with the correct knowledge!!
