Single user, multiple log-ins?

I was shutting down my system the other day when I got a message from the system asking for my password because multiple users were logged in. I found this interesting because I am the only user on my computer, so I popped open a terminal and ran "users" and it showed that I was logged in twice. It currently shows that I am logged in twice. I recently started switching to systemd and I also upgraded to gnome 3.4. Does anybody have any insights into this?

Here is the output of systemd-cgls. I'm not exactly sure where the second login is coming into play.

  • ISE Guest-Account Single-User Multiple Logins

    Hello,
    How to make ISE to only allow  one guest-user account login at a time.    the actual issue I have is- when I give one Guest user-id to someone, he can circulate that user-id with others and multiple unauthorized guests can use that single user-id to connect to Guest-portal
    Anyway to restrict that ?

    Restricting Guests to One Active Network Session
    You can restrict guests to having only one device connected to the network at a time. When guests attempt to connect with a second device, the currently-connected device is automatically disconnected from the network.
    This is a global setting affecting all Guest portals.
     Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Portal Policy.
    Step 2 Check the Allow only one guest session per user option.
    Step 3 Click Save .

  • Is there any plan to update the Creative Cloud EULA for single user, multiple computer use?

    I have a Mac and a PC at work and 5 machines at home (Macs and PCs) in different rooms. I would like to be able to use the software whenever creativity strikes. Otherwise I am forced to keep using Gimp and other solutions at home.

    At the moment if you want to have the Adobe Creative offerings available on 5 different computers then you would want to look at the Creative Cloud for Teams offering.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/teams.html.

  • Restrict multiple log in with same user ID

    I have a JSF Project where I use Oracle JAAS for Login.
    The login works perfectly and also the components on the JSF page shows as per User Role. I am using OAS 10.1.3.3.
    I want to now implement the code so as to restrict simultaneous logins with the same user id. That is a user id cannot be looged in at once to the server from more than one machine.
    The login.html is:

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • Do iMacs come with multiple or single users

    I am going to buy a mac soon and I am going to be the only person using it. Do iMacs come with single or multiple users software?
    Thanks, Eva

      Windows XP   I will be getting my own iMac this November I have a green Mini named PeaPod

    The default configuration for a new Mac is a single user configuration. If you migrate user accounts from a different machine, you will have multiple users on that computer when you first log in. You can also create additional accounts from the Accounts pane of System Preferences. In any case, there are several system-level accounts and groups, which will not be visible on the login screen or in System Preferences.

  • RDS 2012 R2 - Allow Some Users Multiple Logon Sessions and Restrict Other Users to a Single Session

    In Server 2012 R2 RDS, is there a way to allow some users to log on multiple times, but restrict other users to a single logon? On an OU or AD group basis?
    I know there is a GPO setting under Computer Configuration for restricting users to a single logon, but this does not allow me to differentiate on a user basis (only on a per server basis).
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi James,
    From my perspective and knowledge, sorry to say but there is no such option\way to provide this permission at same time. If a user specifies a different program to start when the user connects to the RD Session Host server, a new session will be created on
    the RD Session Host server for the user, even if the RD Session Host server is configured to restrict users to a single session. A user can specify a program to start on connection on the Programs tab under Options in Remote Desktop Connection.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • GRC EAM - Single Firefighter Multiple User Login

    Hi Folks,
    Good Day...Please need your valuable suggestion on the below issue...
    We have configured GRC EAM 10.0 with a mapping of Single User Id to Single Firefighter but now we have got a scenario where Multiple Users require single Firefighter ID .
    Mapping is done for Multiple users with single Firefighter ID., we have logged in with first user and successfully working but same time when the other user logged in, it is not allowing to enter into same firefighter (Popping a message as User1 is already using Firefighter)
    Please provide me if any solution...

    Hi Hima
    Good to hear (sorry for your first question and this one led me down that path)
    I assume the program to login to SAP (can't remember name off the top of my head) performs a check to see if FF is configured and the User is a FF Id. This program is locked down so you cannot view the code (if it's not the program then the kernel is performing a check but pretty sure it's the program).
    So in short, as soon as you configure the user to become a FF Id then it cannot be logged into via logon pad.
    As an additional security measure you should be able to deactivate the FF Id password as it is not required by GRC. This will add additional certainty that no user can access it (you will have change documents to show this should the account ever be removed as a FF Id).
    Regards
    Colleen

  • Multiple Logins of single user

    How do we prevent a single user from multiple logins on IDM.
    If the user has already logged-in, IDM should prevent the same user when tries to login again.
    Thanks.

    This is really difficult to implement. The app server takes care of most of this session behaviour and we can have mulitple IDM instances in a setup which makes this really difficult.
    The other thing is how would you detect a second login? Does the second login come from the same IP or different IP? There are possible problems with all these scenarios.
    It is an oustanding enhancement to give you this option but it will not come soon.

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

    Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    Pmorgan5672 wrote:

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

    The correlation rule for linking AD accounts with OIM during target recon is set as “Email ID”
    We have some business requirement where we want to provision multiple AD Accounts to a single User Profile in OIM.
    Issue we are facing:
    Suppose we have USERID1 in OIM which has email id as USERID1@ XYZ.COM .
    After that we have provisioned sAMAccountName=USERID1 (Email ID as USERID1@ XYZ.COM )& sAMAccountName=USERID2 (Email ID as [email protected]) to the user User Login = USERID1 in OIM.
    Both the AD User accounts can be seen as provisioned.
    After we run the AD Target Recon, the target recon is failing because of “Multiple Process Matches Found” issue.
    Question here is:
    Is it possible to maintain/manage multiple AD Accounts (Same AD is used for all the multiple AD Accounts) to a single OIM profile user ?
    Regards,
    J

    Hi,
    We have seen its working and linking multiple accounts when we have Key field as "User ID" in the Process Defn & RO and the recon matching rule has email ID as the matching rule.
    Please suggest, if we are having the above kind of rule/config...will it not cause any issue?
    Regards,
