Max 8 connections for a user?

[Jeremy Suiter]

Hi,

I'm using MySQL 5.6 CE and any user connecting to the database can only open 8 threads at a time. I've checked and the following variables are set:

max_connections = 200
thread_cache_size=0
thread_concurrency=0
innodb_thread_concurrency=0
User connection is set to 0 so not limited in number of connections it can make.

The app that connects in (Jasper Reports) is set to allow a thread pool of 100 and I cannot spot any other settings that would limit the number of threads to 8 for this user.

I really need some help in lookig at where the limit is.

Thanks

Jeremy
