feature request: show account balance

[wyldcyde]

hi,
we use wingate in internet cafe type setup. not that we run an internet cafe but we do charge by the hour for client connections.
Users pay up front for certain number of hours and are given username/passwords to use until their account balance runs dry.
We use java authetication and wingate internal database.
Annoying thing is that users constantly come to us asking how much money is left in their accounts.
It would be great if the java client would show the user account balance when they login, that way they wouldn't bug us the administrators and they could plan the usage of their credit better.
Is that possible?

thanks

Eli

we are releasing soon an authentication utility for WinGate - a small application that runs in the system tray that allows people to log in to WinGate, change their password etc.

This would be a good feature for this one - showing account balance.

yeah, sounds great.
we run this on a campus type setup so if users could see this info without needing to goto computer office, that would be excellent.
cheers

QbikAuth still does not give an account balance. Is there still no way to let users see their account balance without also being able to see other user's account balances or change any of their account settings??????
