Description

I have been trying to configure the maximum connections per user but none of the options seem to be having an affect.

I have tried various combinations of setting:

• --connection-limit-per-user N on the command line, and
• quota connections N username in the acl file

In the broker trace log, it confirms that the connection limit is enabled, but all connections then succeed anyway. None are rejected.

I have tried setting max connections to zero in both places for all users, but still I can connect.

Is anyone able to confirm that the max connections options are working as expected in the C++ 1.36 Broker? Thanks.
