(RADIATOR) MaxSessions

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Robert -

Both the NAS and Radiator consider case differences as different usernames, 
so the answer to your question is no - the RewriteUsername has no bearing. As 
mentioned previously, the only way to deal with the problem is with a session 
database that stores both the original and the rewritten usernames. You can 
continue to use the original username for checking the NAS, and you can use 
the rewritten username to check simultaneous use.

regards

Hugh
