I don't understand the problem or what you're trying to solve. So what
if Joe mistakenly tries to used John's username, it won't work as he
won't know Joe's password. This is no different than an attempted
network break in which should be prevented by locking your resources
down and ensuring strong passwords. Never in any instance will resources
authorized for one user be granted to another user unless you've
configured something wrong. If the problem is that both John and Joe
want the same username then one needs to explain to Joe that username is
already in use and he'll have to use another one.
