By default, when a user ( “user1”) is connected to an RDP device, and a second user (“user2”) initiates a connection, user1 disconnects and user2 connects.

A warning for simultaneous sessions can be enabled, to inform user2 of the current user1 connection and prevent user1’s session from being disconnected.


To enable this warning:

1. Navigate to **Administration** > **System Config Man**.
2. Set the parameter:
   **sc.rdp.connection.warn.simultaneous.sessions = true**
3. Click **Save**.

This parameter will enable the default warning, which is "**The device you are trying to connect to has an active session. Click Continue to connect, otherwise close this window.**" by default.


To change the text:

1. Log in to the Single Connect Web GUI.
2. Navigate to **Administration **> **System Config Man**.
3. Set this parameter with the desired text.
   **sc.rdp.connection.warn.simultaneous.sessions.text**
4. Click **Save**.

When user2 selects **Continue**, they will be connected to the device, and user1 will be disconnected.
