We have two conflicting needs:
1) We need to have a shared login account on two machines.
2) We need to track who actually logged in on those machines.
I could go into a long-winded explanation on why we need these two
contradictory things, but it would be easier if you just accept that we do.
;-)
What I am thinking about is a shared login, and then maybe some kind of
custom process like a script or custom developed application that forces the
user to provide his or her individual login information. The custom process
would not do any authentication, but would verify that the login is valid
and then log the information to a log file somewhere that the users would
not be able to access. It would be critical that the user be unable to
bypass the custom process.
Any ideas on how best to accomplish both goals?
