• Multiple concurrent logins for sysop

    From 2twisty@21:3/166 to All on Friday, April 01, 2022 13:02:49
    I can't seem to find this on the user editor or elsewhere in config.

    How can I allow for concurrent logins?

    If I am on my board running MRC, it would also be nice to have a window that I can look at mail, or allow me to log in as a test user.

    Mystic is blocking concurrent connections since they are all coming from the same IP.

    Is there a way to allow that for certain security groups or IP ranges?

    There's an option in each of the server configs called 'Dupe IP Limit' that you could change. This sets the maximum number of logins from any one IP address. Unfortunately, this method does not restrict the option to a specific seclvl or IP rage.

    There's a setting under Configuration --> Login/Matrix Settings called "Multi Login ACS" -- if you empty that one, it allows everyone to have multiple sessions (up to the Dupe IP Limit). If you want only the SysOp to have multiple sessions, it can e.g. be set to "s255".

    Thank you for the clarification. I hadn't quite figured out what that particular option did.

    Thanks! Turns out it was already set to s255, so I'm good.
