Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Controlling users then becomes a web application issue.

Note all the apache processes would still be running as the apache user, so there is no way to workout from the AIX level who is logged in.

Your web application would have to track online users and block login or kill older sessions.

So this is not a AIX issue.
