  Well, if I understand it correctly, that's not really what you want
to do.  You don't really care how they logged on, you care how the app

  For example, what if I log on to the corporate network, but then
undock and take my laptop to lunch (without shutting down), and then
run the app?

  Be wary of solving the wrong problem.  :)
