Simultaneous login alert message

Edit online

Starting PowerVC 2.2.0, a new alert notification is introduced if multiple users simultaneously login using the same user ID into the same project. The new alert, Another active login detected. displays at the screen.

The feature is available as a configurable option in your PowerVC environment.

The simultaneous login alert feature works based on the user ID-project combination. For example, if a user is logged in with user ID 123 in project A, and if another user attempts to log in with the same user ID 123 in project A, then the second user gets the alert message immediately and the first user gets the alert message when the screen is refreshed.

The alert notification goes away in these instances.
  • When there is only one active user and all other users have logged out from the session.
  • Six hours after the first logged in user is timed out due to inactivity.

Configuring the feature in the PowerVC environment

To enable the feature in PowerVC GUI, you must configure the feature in your environment by performing these steps.
  1. Add ENABLE_SIMULTANEOUS_LOGIN_ALERT=true at the end of the /opt/ibm/powervc/new-ui/.env UI config file.
  2. Restart the UI server by using the powervc-services ui-server restart command.
