Configuring the maximum number of sessions for Remote Desktop Client

If you did not select Windows Console in the template to launch applications, you need to configure the maximum number of sessions allowed per user on your Windows Server. By default, Windows 7 allows one Remote Desktop Client active session and Windows 2008/2012 allows 2 active sessions.

Procedure

  1. As root, log on to the IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center server.
  2. Set your environment.
  3. Edit the file $GUI_CONFDIR/host_session.conf.
  4. In the file, define the maximum number of sessions allowed per user.
    # Example:
    # In the following example, one active session per user is configured for
    # Windows 7, and 2 active sessions per user are configured for a Windows
    # 2008 Server:
    #
    win7_server1:1
    win2008_server2:2
    
  5. Save the file.
