API call to check if a user is already looged in

Hi

I'm using Adobe Connect 8 hosted account.

What's the easiest way to check, if a user is already logged in into adobe connect?
Is there a API call to find out who is currently logged in?

Thanks

Are you talking about from an external application or from a custom pod?

I'm talking from an external application.

I don't think there is an API call for this. You can probably determine when someone was either a) last authenticated to the system, or b) last joined a meeting room and if they are in a meeting room through the database - I would look at the PPS_SESSIONS (authentication) and PPS_TRANSCRIPTS (meeting attendance) tables in the database.

What tlchurch there is no really an API call for things like this.

There is not an API call to do this per se. However there is an easy way to use an existing API call.

Make the application call common-info and see if the user's information is displayed. If the user is not logged in no userinformation is displayed.  To see for yourself make the API call both when you are logged in and when you are not and note the differences.
