.level

The default logging level for the application. This level is applied to the root logger, and the level that should be changed to trigger more verbose logging.

The options from most verbose to least verbose are as follows:

FINEST

FINER

FINE - shows fine messages, which produces much useful debug information INFO - default level

WARNING

SEVERE

If experiencing a bug, set .level to FINE, reproduce the problem and examine the sametime.log.0 file located in the user workspace, typically "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sametime" on a Windows system.

Allow only one chat client connection per IP address

Two new flags have been added to the sametime.ini file:

VP_ONLY_SINGLE_LOGIN_ALLOWED=1 --> If this flag is set in the 'Config' section, the "single client log-in" mode is activated

VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES --> Comma-separated list of client types. These types will not be considered as "log-ins" when the server checks whether to accept or disconnect clients

Single client login

"Single log-in type" mode means that only one login per user is allowed. When a client tries to log in to the server, a check is performed to determine whether there are already any log-ins of the same user, and disconnect them. When the previous log-ins have a log-in type from the excluded list, they will not be disconnected. When the new log-in type is from the excluded list, the old log-ins will not be disconnected. Generally, log-in types in the "excluded" list are "transparent" for disconnection purposes.

Example:

[Config]

VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES=1002,1304

VP_ONLY_SINGLE_LOGIN_ALLOWED=1

"Single client log-in" mode will be activated, but the log-ins originated from clients with type 0x1002 or 0x1304 will not count for the disconnection. They will not be disconnected and, when they are connecting, they will not disconnect any other clients.

Client Types:

1002 - C++ client

1003 - Java client

100A - ST Links

1100 - Notes Hannover Client

1304 - UIM client
