Hi Robin,

You can change all messages displayed in Yellowfin via the ApplicationResources.Properties file.

!PLEASE BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE MAKING CHANGES!.

This file is located inside the file YellowfinappserverwebappsROOTWEB-INFlibi4-core.jar.
NOTE: You will need to extract the actual file from the jar file in order to make changes.

You should then look at the lines:
[code]
mi.text.login.multilogin=Multiple Sessions
mi.text.login.multilogin.cancel=Cancel Login
mi.text.login.multilogin.remove=Remove Remote Sessions
mi.text.login.multilogin.text=An existing session has been detected using the same login credentials. You have the option to cancel your login, or disconnect the remote session.
[/code]

Once you have made changes you will need to zip the file and rename it back to .jar

A restart will be needed in order for the changes to take effect.
Also note, every Yellowfin update will replace the i4.jar file, so you will need to update the .jar file again after each update.
