No idea. Every connection is a new session from the server's point of  
view. This means that the password MUST be transmitted to the server  
on EACH request anyway, regardless of how many other clients you are  
using. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there was an option  
you needed to check off to remember the password?

> Too many connections maybe?

No, see above. Every connection is a new session so the password must  
be sent each time. If OL is asking for it, that means that it isn't  
saving it internally or the password was rejected by the server.

No. Provisioning does not affect authentication in that way.

Sounds like an OL issue. Perhaps google around.

FWIW, I regularly have OL running with a number of other clients at  
the same time - including iOS devices.
