Hello Listers,
I was asked by a co-worker if there was a way in Oracle to prevent users from connecting to the databases if the same OSUSER has already a created a specified number of sessions to a particular instance.

We discussed profiles and resource limits etc. However, the requirement is that the user should a get message that they have exceeded their quota and should not be allowed to log in (there goes the log on trigger).

The denial of connection *must* be based on 'OSUSER'. In this environment different OSUSERs use the same Oracle Username for these connections, and the expectation is that the DBA find a solution to enforce some rules.

Any tricks? Third party software?

Thanks.

Kirti
