Maximum concurrent sessions policy

This section contains the following topics:

Setting the maximum concurrent sessions policy
You can control the number of sessions each user can have at one time in a distributed session environment managed by the Redis session cache. The pdadmin policy set max-concurrent-web-sessions command specifies this maximum number of concurrent sessions.
Enforcing the maximum concurrent sessions policy
Use the enforce-max-sessions-policy stanza entry in the [session] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file to control whether or not a specific WebSEAL instance enforces the max-concurrent-web-sessions policy.

Switch user and maximum concurrent sessions policy
When an administrator uses switch user to impersonate another user, the session at the distributed session cache is considered to belong to the switch user administrator. The maximum concurrent sessions policy applies to the switch user administrator, and not the impersonated user.
