I'm not sure if your question is only for NT 4.0, but the Internet
Authentication Service in W2K allows for the creation of authentication
modules (using the IAS SDK) that can be configured to limit the number of
concurrent logons.

Subject: [PEN-TEST] Windows NT Security Question


Hello,

This scribe list is fantastic.  Most of the items on the list I use in my
everyday functions to make my system run more efficiently, effectively and
safely.

However, I have a question in which the answer is eluding me.

In Novell, you are able to set the number of concurrent sign-ons by a
user.
Is there such a security parameter within the NT server (domain)
environment
?  I noted that you can lock down a user to a specific MAC address /
workstation (max of 8) but not the number of concurrent connections.

Any help is greatly appreciated !
