AppSuite:Logincounter

Login Counter

Whenever a user is logged in through the login servlet, the context id, user id, client identification string and a time stamp is saved to the database. If a database entry for this combination of context, user and client is already present, only the timestamp is updated. This means that the database holds the information for the last login of a specific user with a specific client. This data can be displayed with the logincounter tool.

The clients provided by Open-Xchange use the following client identification strings (this list is not yet complete):

Client	client identification string
Open-Xchange AppSuite	open-xchange-appsuite
Open-Xchange Server 6	com.openexchange.ox.gui.dhtml

A custom login page (see Open-Xchange_servlet_for_external_login_masks) may (and should) set a custom client identification string.

The output of logincounter can be filtered by client identification strings with the -r or --regex parameter followed by a regular expression matching the desired string(s).

Using the logincounter tool
