As a result, the server configuration window will be displayed.
Complete the fields with relevant information:
-
Give a name to the server.

A connection that is selected as the default connection cannot be deleted.
Next, to return to the authorization form, select Close.
Session and functionality limitations
When a user logs in, the system automatically checks the maximum number of simultaneous sessions allowed for that account. Simultaneous sessions enable a user to access the application on various devices at once, such as a mobile app, a desktop client, or a web browser. Session limits are defined by the system administrator and can be configured individually per user or applied globally to all accounts.
If a user hits the session limit while logging in, the system will notify them and may restrict access to certain features. From there, the user has two options for how to proceed:
-
Continue with limited functionality. To do this, in the notification< select Ok. User can remove the restrictions later by going to Settings > Account > Active sessions.
-
End a session to lift the restrictions. The notification includes a link to Active Sessions. Selecting this link takes the user directly to the Settings > Account > Active Sessions page, where they can see details for all their current sessions and end the one they no longer need.
