Limit Connections - not limiting per users - only per IP

Description

I've created a user, and set the 'Limit Connections' parameter to 1.
I am able to make subscriptions on 2 different machines (through Kodi) without any problem, see screenshot attached.

Is this by design? if so, would it be possible to limit the number of subscriptions per user?

PS: My usecase is simple: I have 2 clients (both Kodi), and I want to apply a CA to 2 different tuners, but the concurrency of the CA should be limited to 1 (otherwise will be blocked or whatever) - hence I was trying to use the same user for both clients, but this seem to fail.

For some reason, it started blocking when I added the trace.

2017-10-16 05:15:56.697 tcp: multiple connections are not allowed for user 'kodi' from 'kodi' (limit 0, streaming limit 1, active streaming 13, DVR 0)

In anyway, this is not what I am looking for - as I mentioned I want to limit the subscriptions per user. I will try adding a PR for that. Thanks!

Hi,

I suggest this also for SAT>IP connections. It be interesting to limit the number of "clients" (with the SAT>IP protocol the client it's identified by the IP address only).

Regards.

I was able to achieve my goal by using OSCAM (running on docker) as my CA.
