User Ident & Windows XP Fast User Switching

I don't know much about any of the approaches to user authentication that Astaro can work with.  Before I get too far into any of them, does anybody know if any support fast user switching on a Windows XP box?  

My wife and daughter share a computer and I would like to turn on content filtering for my daughter but not my wife.  They use the fast user switching and I had heard that most user authentication doesn't recognize when users change in that way.

If only one of them supports it, I will focus on that to the exclusion of the others.

Thank you,
Rich

  • you can setup a content filter profile for each of them in Astaro using local authentication.  Fast user switching does not actually log users off hence the issue with authentication not working.  I would disable fast user switching and force logging off and logging on then the authentication and content filter profiles should work.
