How to allow multiple sessions in Ubuntu - xrdp?

Question

I have an Ubuntu server. I need the possibility to connect 2 users in the same time. I use Microsoft Remote Desktop software to connect to Ubuntu server from my Mac. But if I do the same connect from another Mac, the firs session is ended. I tried different ways, changed file sesman.ini, xrdp.ini, but no success. Max connections is set to 50 in XRDP file.

Are there any other possibilities?

Thank you

I don't know if you're trying the same user from two different clients or if you're trying two different users. I've found two links that may answer your question: https://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=16698, but to tell you the truth, I never tried this using xrdp with multiple users, instead, I use ThinLinc, because it is very fast, easy to configure and has all the features that I needed so far. It is a server/client application and while the server runs on Linux, the client runs on windows/mac/linux and even directly from the web browser. ThinLinc is free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users.
