thin client - Terminal Services - can a user's physical location be identified? -

when using terminal services (maybe or maybe without citrix add-ons), can physical location of user identified?

the client workstation h/w mixture - windows pc, other times lean client unit (eg wyse, etc).

our app needs vary business functionality based, essentially, on location of user. instance, compliance different state laws, or cash handling (a cash drawer can used workstation @ branch or store, can't accessed other branches or stores).

also can't depend on user's logon identify location - while users working @ 1 location, users travel 1 location another. having different logons each location not option, security , audit reasons.

other asking user (a problematic solution, sure), there apis, systemic back upwards or techniques addressing type of need?

thanks!

on remote desktop server, can identify approximate physical location of user based on ip address. can obtain remote ip address associated session using win32 api function winstationqueryinformationw info class winstationremoteaddress. if using .net language, can utilize cassia library -- remote ip endpoint exposed iterminalservicessession.remoteendpoint. not confuse remote ip address client-reported ip address available rds api -- client-reported ip not homecoming client's public ip if client is, example, behind nat router -- homecoming private ip address instead.

once have client's ip address, can utilize api geoip physical location of client.

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
