Session allocation policy. By default, a new session is created for the combination <User,BitPerPixel> when using Xrdp, and for the combination <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize> when using Xvnc. This behavior can be changed by setting session policy to:


UBD - session per <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize>
UBI - session per <User,BitPerPixel,IPAddr>
UBC - session per <User,BitPerPixel,Connection>
UBDI - session per <User,BitPerPixel,DisplaySize,IPAddr>
