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.
