I don't think there is a way to block that login if the user
knows it and it needs it to access the database via the app.
You could likely detect when/if it accessed the database
outside of this application and you could kill the process
but I don't think you can block it. Additionally, I used the
term likely as detecting application name/program name is
based on the connection code or front end and this can be
altered so it's not totally reliable.
