Dev request - nickname for user

Submitted by trickyb_uk on #1

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet - I've searched through the support logs for any reference, but found none.

We use quite a generic (read unfriendly) username logon at work - a five digit number, so when I have a dongle in use it show 'In use by 12345 at PC5'

Is it possible to assign friendly names to the user, so 12345 becomes 'Richard'?

Thanks

Richard (12345)

Yeah thats useful, i added in 2.8.3 of the server available on this website

To use;

1. Stop the server
2. edit the server config.ini and add the line

ClientIdMap=<client id>,<nickname>...

e.g

ClientIdMap=Michael Jones (michael),Mike,Steve Smith (steve),Steve,Wendy Jones (wendy),Wendy
