Issue/Introduction

Customer needs to run 2 concurrent OneClickWebapp windows within the same browser. He needs to display on a video wall, in rotation mode, two different OneClick Console topology views.

The browser, with the installation of a specific plug-in, allows the automatic rotation from one browser tab to another. The problem is that when you try to duplicate the OneClickWebApp console to open the second OneClickWebApp window, on the first windows you get the message "A new session was started in another window. This session has been closed"

How is It possible to have duplicated OneClickWebapp sessions from the same browser ?
