Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2017-03-15 13:08:46 CET
Scenario:

From Client1, I create a new ThinLinc Session on ServerA without giving a Start Command. I move to a different location with a different client configured with a Start Command. When I try to reconnect to my running session, I get an error message saying:

> ThinLinc login failed.
> (You are not allowed to create any more sessions)

It takes rather intimate knowledge of the ThinLinc session handling to know that you need to check the Start Command in the client when this error is shown. We should improve this error message to make it more obvious how to proceed.

This happens when the Reconnection policy setting is set to "Automatically reconnect to a disconnected session". Ironically, when this setting is changed to "Always ask how multiple sessions should be handled", it automatically reconnects (as long as I only have one session).
