Hello!
We have a database application running on our Metaframe XP servers. The
users authenticate themselves to the database, so there's no need for
another authentication to the server, thus we have published the
application anonymously.
However, the database application doesn't accept more than 1 concurrent
user with the same database username. Unfortunately, some users simply
switch off their PCs instead of shutting them down, in these cases the
anonymous sessions are still in active state. If these users restart their
PCs and the application, the database refuses the connection, because there
still exists another connection under the same name.
We don't want to set an idle timeout on these connections because many
people often leave their PCs and return later to continue working with this
application. Is there a possibility to terminate an anonymous session
immediately after the client isn't reachable anymore? There is no
disconnected state in anonymous applications which can be taken over at the
next login, so why is the anonymous session still active if the client is
"dead"?
Our environment:
Windows 2000 SP3
Metaframe XP FR3
Novell Client 4.91 SP2
With kind regards,
