Limit remote access connections from IP Address

I have a remote access site connecting to us using a registry check and not by a login page. I want to limit the concurrent sessions to 11 but not sure how to go about this. My original idea was by IP address but there is a licence check that I can put after the registry key. Can this be altered to only allow 11 sessions?

 

Thanks

    You should be able to set a limit in the http profile, you can test and see if it works.

     

    ltm profile http Test_http { app-service none defaults-from http max-requests 11 }

    Hi Angelo,

     

    that does look like it would work. I may have to rethink my original plan to use it.

     

    My original plan was to have 1 Virtual server with 1 rule between 3 different companies, but each company would have different licence requirements. So I have a registry check then I check the amount of connections this companies has then it allows access to the webtop.

     

    If it does not match the registry check it moves onto the next registry check and connection check.

     

    This way I give the companies 1 URL.
