SSO is a hot button for large orgs/corps... have heard it bantered for
years but no solution. I have seen a product that had a small utility
on windows that transmitted login info to a linux box. it was in every
users profile so upon login, the transaction was completed. I have
also seen cable testers that can find a break in a cable but how would
you find out which pc is next to what phone is beyond my current
visualization capability :)....<br>
what I could invision is a) the above 'on login' utility handling
login name and ip address, or b) a web based login utility handling a
user login and current extension. and both with a table lookup with a
few fields:<br>
<blockquote>user login id (static)<br>
extension (static or updated via web login aka I am at this extension)<br>
PIN (optional)<br>
fname (static)<br>
lname (static)<br>
skill (static)<br>
ip addr (updated automatically)<br>
timestamp (at login) zero if logged out<br>
</blockquote>
and yes, it is an interesting idea... I don't require it now but I can
see a need for it and will probably require it at some point in the
future...<br>

This was just on Linux user stations with a simple bash script that
send a request to a web server. The web server did the rest based on
the PC's IP address and user's username.

Might be a bit harder to do on a Windows based network with DHCP on the
workstations !
<br>
<br>
One way to try it would be to look for a service all PCs register for
already.
<br>
If you have a central fileserver I'd go for that.
<br>
The SNMP mib for windows (NT and upwards) lets you query things like
<br>
logged-on username, client IP address - and MAC addresses.
<br>
So you poll that, work out which user is on which MAC address (hence
PC)
<br>
then you just need a map that finds the nearest phone to a given MAC.
<br>
Use that to update the realtime database.
<br>
<br>
Sounds like a fun project, shame I don't need it !
