WhosOn logon accounting

WhosOn is a client/server system for logon accounting. Use either whoson-php or whoson-asp on server side, with whoson-sql for SQL support. Install the Linux, Mac OS X or Windows client on computers from who logon session statistics should be collected.

Deployment:

Easiest is to record events by running the client as a logon/logoff script from i.e. an active directory GPO. The client can also be run as a service/daemon on client computers, monitoring user logons in the background.

Records:

Recorded data has IP, hostname, MAC, username, domain and datetime as field that is stored in the database. The client communicates with server side using SOAP.

Authentication:

By default, authentication is disabled on server side, but its possible to enable HTTP basic authentication against i.e. LDAP or plain text file.

This component:

The whoson application and library provides an SOAP client (Linux and Mac OS X) for the WhosOn logon accounting service. The whoson-asp or whoson-php package should have been installed on the server side.
