# Mobile Login - Duplicate member_id Solution

## 🐛 Problem

**Scenario:**
- Client A creates user: `M004` / `123456` for Project 1
- Client B creates user: `M004` / `123456` for Project 2
- Mobile login with `M004` / `123456` → **Always logs into same project!**

**Root Cause:**
- `member_id` is not unique across clients
- Mobile app can't provide `treelogy_id` or `client_id`
- System finds first matching `member_id`

---

## 💡 Proposed Solutions

### Solution 1: Use Mobile Number as Login Identifier ⭐ RECOMMENDED

**Concept:**
- Mobile phone numbers are unique worldwide
- Use `mobile_number` as the primary login identifier
- Keep `member_id` for internal reference only

**Pros:**
- ✅ Mobile numbers are naturally unique
- ✅ No database schema changes
- ✅ Simple implementation
- ✅ Users already have phone numbers

**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Requires mobile number to be properly filled
- ⚠️ Users must remember their phone number

**Implementation:**
```javascript
// Mobile login uses mobile_number
const user = await Login.findOne({
  where: {
    mobile_number: email, // Use phone number
    status: 'Y'
  }
});
```

---

### Solution 2: Add `username` Field (Globally Unique)

**Concept:**
- Add new `username` field to login table
- Make it unique across entire system
- Format: `CLIENT_CODE_MEMBER_ID` (e.g., `GH_M004`, `TC_M004`)

**Pros:**
- ✅ Guaranteed unique
- ✅ Clear client association
- ✅ Easy to remember pattern

**Cons:**
- ❌ Requires database migration
- ❌ Need to populate existing users
- ❌ More complex user creation

**Implementation:**
```sql
-- Add username field
ALTER TABLE login ADD COLUMN username VARCHAR(150) UNIQUE;

-- Populate existing users
UPDATE login l
SET username = CONCAT(
  (SELECT client_code FROM client WHERE id = l.client_id),
  '_',
  l.member_id
);
```

---

### Solution 3: Use member_id + mobile_number Composite

**Concept:**
- Mobile login requires BOTH member_id AND mobile_number
- Combination should be unique

**Pros:**
- ✅ No schema changes
- ✅ Double verification
- ✅ More secure

**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Mobile app needs both fields
- ⚠️ Longer login form
- ⚠️ Mobile numbers might still duplicate

**Implementation:**
```javascript
const user = await Login.findOne({
  where: {
    member_id: memberId,
    mobile_number: mobileNumber,
    status: 'Y'
  }
});
```

---

### Solution 4: Add `client_code` to Login Request ⭐ BEST ALTERNATIVE

**Concept:**
- Each client has a short code (e.g., "GH", "TC")
- Mobile app asks for: Client Code + Member ID + Password
- System uses `client_code` to find `client_id`, then finds user

**Pros:**
- ✅ No duplicate logins
- ✅ No schema changes
- ✅ Users know their client
- ✅ Simple 3-field form

**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Users need to remember client code
- ⚠️ Requires client to have short code

**Implementation:**
```javascript
// Mobile sends: { clientCode: "GH", memberId: "M004", password: "123456" }
const client = await Client.findOne({ 
  where: { client_code: clientCode } 
});

const user = await Login.findOne({
  where: {
    member_id: memberId,
    client_id: client.id,
    status: 'Y'
  }
});
```

## 🎯 Recommended Solution

### ⭐ **Solution 1: Mobile Number Login** (Immediate, No Schema Changes)

**Why:**
1. Mobile numbers are naturally unique
2. No database changes needed
3. Users always have their phone with them
4. Simple implementation

**Implementation Steps:**

#### 1. Update Mobile Login Controller

```javascript
// Find by mobile_number instead of member_id
const user = await Login.findOne({
  where: {
    mobile_number: email, // email param = phone number
    status: 'Y'
  }
});
```

#### 2. Mobile App Change

```kotlin
// Old: Enter member_id
val memberId = editTextMemberId.text.toString()

// New: Enter mobile number
val mobileNumber = editTextMobile.text.toString()
loginAPI(mobileNumber, password)
```

#### 3. Ensure Unique Mobile Numbers

```sql
-- Check for duplicate mobile numbers
SELECT mobile_number, COUNT(*) 
FROM login 
WHERE mobile_number != '0'
GROUP BY mobile_number 
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

-- Make mobile_number unique (optional but recommended)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_login_mobile_unique 
ON login(mobile_number) 
WHERE mobile_number != '0';
```

---

## 🚀 Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Immediate Fix (Recommended)

**Use Mobile Number as Login**

1. Update mobile login to use `mobile_number`
2. Ensure all users have unique phone numbers
3. Update mobile app to collect phone number
4. Test with both clients

**Files to modify:**
- `Backend/controllers/mobileController.js` - Change login query
- Mobile App - Change login form field

---

### Phase 2: Long-term Solution (Optional)

**Add Username Field**

1. Add migration to create `username` field
2. Populate usernames: `{CLIENT_CODE}_{MEMBER_ID}`
3. Update login to use username
4. Update user creation to auto-generate username

**Migration:**
```sql
-- Add username column
ALTER TABLE login ADD COLUMN username VARCHAR(150);

-- Create unique index
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_login_username ON login(username);

-- Populate from existing data
UPDATE login l
SET username = CONCAT(
  COALESCE(
    (SELECT client_code FROM client WHERE id = l.client_id),
    'SYS'
  ),
  '_',
  l.member_id
)
WHERE username IS NULL;

-- Make NOT NULL after populating
ALTER TABLE login ALTER COLUMN username SET NOT NULL;
```

## 📱 Mobile App Impact

### Current (member_id - PROBLEM)

```
Login Screen:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Member ID: M004     │
│ Password: ******    │
│ [ Login ]           │
└─────────────────────┘

Issue: M004 exists for 2 clients!
```

### Solution 1: Mobile Number

```
Login Screen:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Mobile: 9876543210  │
│ Password: ******    │
│ [ Login ]           │
└─────────────────────┘

✅ Phone numbers are unique!
```

### Solution 4: Client Code + Member ID

```
Login Screen:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Client: GH          │
│ Member ID: M004     │
│ Password: ******    │
│ [ Login ]           │
└─────────────────────┘

✅ GH_M004 vs TC_M004 are different!
```

## 🎯 Quick Fix (Mobile Number) - RECOMMENDED

Let me implement the mobile number solution right now:

### Backend Change

```javascript
// Use mobile_number instead of member_id
const user = await Login.findOne({
  where: {
    mobile_number: email, // The 'email' param is actually mobile number
    status: 'Y'
  }
});
```

### Mobile App Change

```
Change login form label from:
"Member ID" → "Mobile Number"

Send mobile number in 'email' field
```

This immediately solves the duplicate issue!

---

## ✅ Validation Queries

### Check for Duplicate Mobile Numbers

```sql
SELECT 
  mobile_number, 
  COUNT(*) as count,
  STRING_AGG(member_id, ', ') as member_ids
FROM login 
WHERE mobile_number != '0'
GROUP BY mobile_number 
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
```

### Check for Duplicate Member IDs Across Clients

```sql
SELECT 
  member_id,
  COUNT(*) as count,
  STRING_AGG(DISTINCT client_id::text, ', ') as client_ids
FROM login
GROUP BY member_id
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
```

### List Users by Client

```sql
SELECT 
  c.client_name,
  l.member_id,
  l.mobile_number,
  l.name,
  u.role_name
FROM login l
JOIN client c ON l.client_id = c.id
JOIN user_master u ON l.role_id = u.id
WHERE u.role_name IN ('SURVEYOR', 'QC_USER', 'QC_USER_2')
ORDER BY c.client_name, l.member_id;
```
