Experienced Solutions Developers Needed For Lucrative Projects 2

I need an application written that will control access to workstations without authenticating. I am open to suggestions for the best way to accomplish this. Ideally the application would be controlled through web browsers to minimize network infrastructure complications/configuration. I have an existing solution written in VB.

I would to the program to work something like this:

1)User sits down at a publicly available workstation. PC has a screen asking for system login credentials.

2)User enters credentials at a browser login screen without authenticating against the network.

3)User authenticates against a database of users which can be imported or created automatically.

4)User now has access to desktop including Internet.System loggs the user as well as the start time of session.

5)User loggs off and that time is also logged.

6)In the event all available pc's are being used, another pc is dedicated to being a reservation queuing station. Users enter their name at the reservation station and wait for the first available pc to be assigned to them.

7)Reports are created from the information gathered.

This is a basic core model of what I would like created. I have many more features I would like to add and am looking for a long term relationship for future features to be added.I've attached a brochure of a similiar type solution. I would like this application to be designed in a manner that can be easily supported remotely.

hmm. oga mi. i think you will need to understand security framework built into different OSes Linux or Windows,  you cannot access all system resources (like the ones you have mentioned) without
1: creating a session(tokenized) that gives you an Access control list of some sort with all your access levels and permissions for whatever resource(printer, browser, files/folders, time/date etc)
2: While the browser is an attractive option, it has its limitations when it comes to workstation activities.(serious limitations) unless you want to beef it up with ActiveX components, you will be better off with a Console application

Seems to me like a cybercafe software,  it took me a while and a lot of energy but in the end i settled with what was on ground

1: Target a speficic OS and version (for me it was WindowsXP)
2: Use a development tool that leverages on the target OS chosen (.NET)
3: Do not reinvent the wheel,  (I used Group Policy Object, WMI Scripts, Active Directory, TWeak UI for XP and Remote Desktop Infrastructure to define sets of users and permissions,  such that when users log in I can apply the GPO to that system and use an Inf file done with Tweak UI to apply appropriate settings

But that was a heck of a tedious job,  tis over and I shall not subject myself to such masochistic endevour again
