The single login type mode means that only one login per user is allowed. When a client
attempts to log in to the HCL®
Sametime® Community Server, the server checks to see if
there are any existing logins of the same user, and disconnects them. Any client on the exclusion
list is not disconnected, which is useful for users who want to run multiple clients
simultaneously.
About this task
To configure the single login function and exclude certain
client types from qualifying as logins, edit the sametime.ini file.
Procedure
-
Open a text editor on the Sametime Community
Server.
-
Open the sametime.ini file located in the Sametime Community Server installation directory. For example,
the default directory in Windows™ is
C:\program files\HCL\domino.
- In the Config section, set the following
flag to activate single client login mode:
VP_ONLY_SINGLE_LOGIN_ALLOWED=1
If
the flag is set to 1 the server works in the single
login allowed mode. When a new client login request is received, all
the previous logins are disconnected. Only one client type connection
per computer is allowed at one time (related to client types, not
users).
- Specify which client types are not
considered logins when the server checks whether to accept or disconnect
clients. Separate the client types with commas.
VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES=clienttype1,
clienttype2
In the following configuration, even though single
client login mode is activated, logins originating from C++ clients and Unified instant
messaging clients will not be disconnected if they have logged in from the Sametime client too.
VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES=1002, 1304
-
