By default, IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor supports multiple users to log in with the same account. You can configure IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor so that an account can be used only by a single user on the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor web console.

About this task

To complete the task, you need to have the Manage permission for System Settings. To configure a single-user login, follow these steps:

Procedure

To open the loginPolicy.xml file, in the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor web console, go to your user name, and then select Menu Button () > System Settings > Properties > loginPolicy.xml. The following example shows the default loginPolicy.xml file.
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<lockoutDuration>15</lockoutDuration>
</loginPolicy>
```
Add the following parameter to the loginPolicy.xml file: <multipleLoginEnabled>false</multipleLoginEnabled>. The following example shows the loginPolicy.xml file after the change:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<enabled>true</enabled>
<maxFailedLogins>3</maxFailedLogins> 
<lockoutDuration>15</lockoutDuration>
