SignalR generates a different identifier for different instances

Question

I created a web chat application using signalR. When the user is logged in, the user can open only 3-4 tabs and each time a different connection identifier is generated. I want that when opening a new tab or refreshing the page, a new connection identifier should not be generated. I want to use an existing connection identifier. To do this, I tried to implement the LocalStorage variable to store the hub connection. But the problem is that I cannot parse the value of the localstorage variable.

Can someone give me a solution to my problem or can someone give me some other solution to the problem?

I already tried this http://kevgriffin.com/maintaining-signalr-connectionids-across-page-instances/ but it does not work for me

Answer 1

If the user is authenticated, you can store various connection identifiers in a HashSet. The key for the HashSet will be the username.

You can use this method even if you are not authenticated. In this case, you can use SessionId instead of the username.

EDITED

I found another method. In this article, Alex Ford advises limiting your connections to 3.
