With N-1 compatibility the users with RTC 3.0.x Eclipse client can connect to 4.0.x server.
There are some calls from 3.0.x which are causing the issues on the server.
Is there a way to enable some logs so that we can know which version of client is used to log in to the server.

On the Application Admin page using the addition to the URI "?internal=true"  just after /admin you can go to Counters and find "Compatable client logins" which enumerates version vs count.

The only problem with this solution is that we cannot get to know who is the user using the older version of the client. But  this information is also good enough.

While following up I came across this nugget:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/WhyIsMyAuthenticationSlow

Server admins can set the compatability to STRICT so that only v4 clients can connect to v4 server.  

I'm still seeing a majority of v3 clients being used against v4 servers, so I'm firing a warning shot that users must upgrade to 4.x SOON as the mode will be changed to STRICT.

I wouldn't do this ordinarily but:

  • The above link says server performance can be degraded
  • It also mentions v4.0.5 which is of particular interest as we're moving to that next month.
I'll use the JTS server notifications to get the word out.
