Hello Tobias!

Thanks for the answer. We set "uniqueids" to "never" to allow simultaneous
connections with the same user account. For instance a simultaneous login
from the iPhone and the iPad.

If this "uniqueness" is only determined by the login username and not
further data (like a mac address or name of the connecting device), I see
that this will not work.

Or do you have any other ideas to make this work?

Regards
 Sven Anders
