Re: Programatically detect user login and logouts from Open Directory?

All,
I need to run a script on the server when a user authenticates or logs in to a computer and that user's info is taken off of the Open Directory server. I have tried parsing the log files but they do not seem reliable.


I need to get both the user name and the ip address of the machine where the user is authenticating from. I've checked the Password Server logs and the Open Directory logs, but those don't seem to give me the ip address of the user.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris
I'd do this by using a log in and log out script. You could have such scripts record data locally (actually it is anyway using the last command in Terminal) or have the script send the data to a central location (say a web server, which saves the data into a MySQL database) using curl or some other approach.


Hope this helps
Dave
