Concurrent access to Neo4j from desktop apps

I am planning to create a desktop app (Java or C# WPF) which would be used by multiple users. The requirements are such that a Graph DB like Neo4j fits perfectly into the scheme of things. I have done some investigations and it looks really good. I am working on the community edition. Now here is the problem. From what I have observed, I am able to make only one connection to the database. The moment I try to make a connection from another instance I get an error. Even accessing on localhost:7474 gives an error.

Is this by design? I understand that in a web App, I can still use a static reference to a single DB instance and work with it. But in a desktop app scenario how do I ensure that multiple users are able to access the database from their apps?

Your app instances can access the same neo4j server through its REST API. There is no need to directly connect to the DB.

Here is a page that shows you how to do that in Java.
