This is a potentially useful solution for people working with multi-client setups and trying to test it without assembling and setting up 5 or more physical mappView clients.
When connecting to a mappView server you can only do so from the same client once or using incognito mode you can connect a second time. Any other connection attempts results in this warning.
But by starting multiple Chrome instances all with their own - -user-data-dir = it is possible to create as many client connections as you need for testing!
Here is a simple PowerShell script to launch 5 clients connecting to the same 127.0.0.1:81 and they all act as a separate clients in the eyes of the mappView server, ideal for testing multi-client setups.
#Launch 5 mappView clients
1..5 | ForEach-Object {
Start-Process chrome.exe -ArgumentList “–user-data-dir=C:\temp\chrome$_”, “http://127.0.0.1:81/”
}
