      Hey

      Running a Mobile clinet setup using IKEv2 over IPSec. If a user creates a connect from one computer and then connects via their mobilephone, the first connecting is closed.

      Is i possible to use same credentials for multiple connections?

        I ran into this also.  My work around was to use openvpn for mobile devices.  Though I use radius for both to authenticate so I am able to use same username and password.

          The way IPsec works that isn't a viable option. Create them a second user/cert/etc to use for the mobile device.

          OpenVPN can work with the "duplicate connections" option enabled but it is still inadvisable. Using separate authentication credentials for each device is more secure.
