Description

Hello,
I am looking for simple way how to not allow connection with same credential which is already used by another connected client. I studied source codes a bit but I did not find simple way.

I suppose I could simulate this behavior with WebSocketServer.UserCredentialsFinder function which could return NULL for already connected clients but this would give no meaningful reply to client. Instead of custom message "Same credentials already used" he would get "Invalid credentials". Plus there is an issue of proper removing disconnected and dead clients from my collection handling "connected clients".

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Research direction

Start with WebSocketServer.UserCredentialsFinder and trace how authentication failures are reported to clients. Review the connection lifecycle and the issue's proposed collection of connected clients, including how disconnected or dead clients would be removed. Done means duplicate credentials are rejected with a meaningful response and stale connections cannot block reuse.
