I think you've summed it up there !
Unfortunately, the MAC address is the only (mostly) reliable
identifier, and even that can be altered by the user. You could use
client-id IF you had control of all the clients, but since you're in
a situation where that isn't the case, then I don't think there is
any safe method.
