Shared account
A shared account should be specified when multiple users are using the same account for starting a FH Web Edition session. Users who sign in to FH Web Edition with a shared account cannot disconnect and then reconnect to FH Web Edition. This prevents a user from reconnecting to another user's session. When logging on to a FH Web Edition server with a shared account, the user's session terminates immediately after disconnecting from the host, regardless of the reconnect setting in the FH Web Edition Connection Manager.
If an administrator designates an existing user name as a shared account while that user is disconnected from his or her session, the session remains running on the server until the termination limit is reached. The session is then terminated.
Note: Before specifying a shared account, verify in the FH Web Edition Connection Manager that there are no connected or disconnected sessions using that account.
FH Web Edition does not support the use of domain names for shared accounts, such as NORTH\johng.
Note: FH Web Edition supports only one shared account per host.
