Description:
Hi,

We are encountering an issue when running MySQL Workbench on our RDS server using a shared account. The application works as expected for the first user who launches it. However, when a second user attempts to open MySQL Workbench at the same time, the following error appears: "Failed to create an IPC port: Access is denied". 

How to repeat:
1. Log in to RDS server with the shared account.
2. User A launches MySQL Workbench — the application opens and connects successfully.
3. User B logs into RDS (separate session) with the same shared account.
4. User B attempts to launch MySQL Workbench.
5. Error message appears: "Failed to create an IPC port: Access is denied".

Suggested fix:
- Whether MySQL Workbench supports concurrent use in an RDS environment with the same user account.

- Any configuration or permission changes needed to allow multiple sessions.
