restricitng webclient from other windows user session

[HimanshuNandu]

I have a websocket C++ server listening on a particular port, I only want to accept connections from client if the client is logged in from the same windows user session, If the requests come from a websocket client that is running under different windows user session, I want to discard it.

The client is in javascript so it cannot send the windows logged in username.

Can I determine in websocketserver from the connected client socket, the client's windows user?

You can generally tell if the connection is coming from the local/loopback interface, but beyond that you'd have to send this information from the client and have some way to verify it.

Okay, that's a challenge.

Can I generate a random port using websocketpp, if I listen on port 0, will the library return a unique port from the OS?
