Hello,

after upgrade on 9.2.6 (3811), we have some problems. We have Kerio Connect on Debian.

First problem is with [16/Apr/2018 09:54:52] HTTPS connection from IP address 192.168.XXX.XXX rejected: too many simultaneous connections (101 connections, limit 100)
Only info i found was https://manuals.gfi.com/en/kerio/connect/content/troubleshoo ting/general-errors/why-do-i-see-ip-address-xxxx-rejected-to o-many-connections-in-the-warning-log-266.html

In web administration is not this settings, but i found solution in configuration file mailserver.cfg.
I had to shut down the service Kerio Connect
Edit mailserver.cfg and change <variable name="MaxConnectionsIP">100</variable> to <variable name="MaxConnectionsIP">1000</variable> prefer to all services where is it, because we have NAT.
Start Kerio Connect service and seems be OK.

Second problem was with bad time zone, but I create instructions to all users for change settings in their accounts. In Kerio Connect webmail you need to change the time zone in the settings and each user has to do it yourself.

Maybe it will help somebody.

With all due respect, but this sounds more like a bad solution / network build. Why do you have a local IP address connection way over 100 times to kerio? Why is Kerio behind a NAT? This seems IMHO like a bad set up or bad rules. Setting up the max connections per IP can be a serious security flaw. Would be easy(ier) to kill the server now.

If you NAT for whatever reason, Kerio should see the IP behind it. Nothing wrong with that. You don't need to change the IP to the NAT ROuter or whatever. That kind of masquerading makes now sense.

We have the same problem. We have users behind NAT, approx. 70 users. From time to time we get this error stating that too many simultaneous connections https. Checking Active Connections, we can see that one user generating from 1 to 5 connections at the same time (KOFF), why? How to monitor exactly what is causing the problem?
