rm’ing the file).  I’ve also tweaked the script to store a copy of
the vnc full-control password similar to what the Control script
does, which it will use in launching vncviewer.

This is not only utauthd. utauthd prevents this for good reason, as the rest of the Sun Ray server also isn't equipped to multicast output to multiple clients, to multiplex input from multiple clients and to manage session lifecycle under multi-client (for a single session) scenarios.

[...]

Is there any way to tell utauthd to change this – to allow the second
connection and not do the DISCONNECT & DESTROY?


No. And the result wouldn't work - and would probably be a security nightmare otherwise.

If I am correct - that this change would make this work - but would
require a code change to utauthd, I will submit this as an
enhancement request.  It seems this would work quite well for
classroom situations, as well as providing a seamless disaster
recovery mechanism using the Sun Ray technology.  I imagine this
would not be the default behavior, but would be selectable via an
auth.props parameter (as I originally stated) allowing alias tokens
access to existing sessions.


AFAICT there is much more to it than utauthd.
