I am using the idea in the link as a way to password protect a remote panel. However, there is a problem. After one user logs in, if a second user connects while the first user is logged in, then the second user automatically gets access without having to log in. Does any one have any ideas to force the second (and other additional users) to log in before they can get access?

If they're all accessing the same remote panel, then the current state of the remote panel is what they will all see because that's the state of the VI itself on the remote system.

 

How are the users accessing the remote panel? If it's through your own local VI, then you could have them log in there?

 

Maybe the Advanced Programmatic option here could work for you.

Uh, not sure. This is my first experience with remote panels. I have an address that you put in a browser address bar when the VI is running on the Server computer and that's how you connect. Is that what you mean?

Yeah that's where I found the idea. Maybe I can try a different option if the one I have now doesn't work.

Ooooo, look what I found.

 

Try setting up the VI as reentrant and then see what happens when multiple people try to log in. I didn't know this was possible with remote panels. This looks like exactly what you need (unless you want the screens to all match once they log in...)

Cheers
