TeamSite - Information about login users

Win 2003, TS 6.5 sp1

I am trying to show the list of users logged in to TS every day. I am trying to get the information from log files. It is recording only when the login is denied. Where can I find the information about user login?

iwevents.log - shows locked dcr with user name
access.log - shows the accessed pages/url with user name.

Thanks
Sri

Unless users explicitly log-out, (or perhaps if you hack something in the login.jsp) you probably won't be able to get accurate information about this. See the CLT manual regarding iwrecentusers.

Roat,

When an user account is created a correspoding information of that user is logged in a numberd file located under /iw-home/local/entities/data.

When a TS user logs in inside TS server, that user file inside /iw-home/local/entities/data file gets touched with system time.

You can use this information to find out users who are logged in inside TS each day.

Hmm, this is an interesting idea - however, if user A logs in at 17:30 on Monday and then quits TS without explicitly logging off, and then re-connects at 08:30 on Tuesday (in which case their authentication token is still active from Monday) will the entities data file still get modified?

I've never tried this, but somehow I think the files wouldn't get touched unless the user changes their working directory or favorites listing (the former is reasonably likely, the latter would be a lucky coincidence).

Interesting points...
1. Can we know, whos logged in today(may not need exact times, atleast users list)?
2. Can we know, exact login and logout times?
3. This is not relavent to the main question, how can we get
List of the DCR's locked and locked on today?
I will try your suggestions and let you know the result.

Thanks

Thanks alot Sanjeev, You gave the valuable information. From that, I am able to get the user, when he tried to view a DCR, Branch, and DCR name.

Thanks
