Preventing login to disconnected session



We have a Terminal Emulator application, with its own login and password
(all of which are unique) that we run on a Terminal Server (2003) to provide
remote access. The connection is setup to run the application, not go to
the Desktop.

We wanted to make things simple, so, setup a single local user (server is on
our ADS Domain) and ALL users will login to the server as that single user,
then, login to the Terminal Emulator program using their own, unique
credentials.

We may have 10 or so users online at once, and, are running into a problem
when one user is disconnected, with the logged-into application still
running, then a second one logs in and is connected to the first one's
session, and into the open Terminal Emulator's screen (that's logged into by
the first user).

We need to prevent this from happening, and, I would guess that I would need
either to close disconnected sessions immediately, or, somehow uniquely
identify WHERE each session originates from and deny access from any other
location. In the former, we have set the sessions to close 1 minute after
disconnection, but that is too long (can the Registry be hacked to speed
that up?), and, in the latter, there seems to be settings to allow only the
same location to reconnect to a session, but, the Help says that works only
with Citrix.

Is there a way to do this, or, will we have to use separate, Domain accounts
to ensure separate connections.

Thanks.
