My previous answer was correct for this question. The answer is it CAN be
done. You must use the Microsoft SQL Server piece in addition to the Emerald
software since the table which is built is done as an SQL table (of users
currently logged in). If the rule you're running says only one user ID at a
time (no sharing accounts), then the authentication mechanism checks the
online table to make sure that user isn't currently on line.

The time-bank function depends on your NAS (terminal server). The Livingstons
and Ascends of the world support this with a Radius attribute which our
software knows how to set when authenticating the user to the NAS.
