-vnc :5900,share=force-shared disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting specify -shared disconnect everybody else.
-vnc :5900,share=ignore completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody connect unconditionally rdp seems to support some similar (though they don't look identical) features through replaceUser/multiUser.
« The replaceUser attribute is a boolean deciding whether multiple simultaneous connections to the VM are permitted. The multiUser attribute is a boolean deciding whether the existing connection must be dropped and a new connection must be established by the VRDP server, when a new client connects in single connection mode. »
I'm wondering if we should try to use similar attributes for both rdp and vnc for more consistency?
These vnc server flags need to work together with vnc client flag (like: -Shared for vncviewer) for a certain behaviour, and these flags focus on how to share more than whether to share or not. I don't know more about RDP, it seems that their common behaviours are not quite same according to above docs. Guannan
