Describe the Bug

After the first successful authentiction of a client via PIN further connections should happen without the need to enter a PIN again. This is not happening here. After shutting down and restarting the sunshine server, the server is locked again.

What I see is, that sunshine.conf and sunshine.log are empty/0 bytes.

Expected Behavior

after first authentication, clients should connect without entering PIN.

sunshine.conf is supposed to be empty unless you modified any config settings in the UI.

ok, so that's not the reason why the PIN is not remembered.

I did some more tests and the problem is a bit different than on the first look:

You can login to the host without re-entering the PIN if you completely shutdown the host between sessions. The host in question was usually put into sleep mode between sessions and in this case, after resuming the host, it is viewed as "not available" ❗ on a windows client and as "locked" 🔓 on an Apple TV. After completely shutting down the host and starting again the host is accessible again from both clients.

That just indicates that Sunshine is not running.
