[strongSwan] Logging in twice with the same credentials

Hello,

I would like to know what should be the default behaviour of strongswan if a user logs in twice with the same credentials simultaniously.

What I can see in the logs:
User A logs in on computer A : strongswan assign an address lease A to user A
User A logs in on computer B : strongswan rejects address lease A and assigns address lease B to user A

Computer A is still able to communicate via VPN as is computer B.
If user A logs off from computer B, there is no more appearant record of user A being online on machine A.

What happens to this orphaned lease ?
Is lease A at risk of being reassigned to another user C on computer C for example, even though user A is still online on machine A ?

Is there a way to "forbid" a user to login twice simultaniously ?

kind regards,
Claude
