Limit the number of Simultaneous Access - [GUI]

We have as many as 30 people viewing the LTM and it doesn't appear to degrate performance. However, you can set the boundaries of the user on ssh

 

 

 

Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and append the following to limit the max number of logins to 2 for user John

 

John hard maxlogins 2

 

 

save and close

 

 

If John logs in the gui or console more then twice John will recieve a too many logins message

 

 

 

I hope this helps

Thanks Bhattman! :-)

 

 

Is interesting to know this feature.

You might also check the httpd logs (/var/log/httpd/httpd_errors) for an error indicating that the maxclients limit has been exceeded. If so, you can modify the httpd.conf to increase the setting:

 

 

SOL9588: Error Message: httpd: [error] server reached MaxClients setting

To add, whatever changes you make in the CLI make sure it will existing on an upgrade and/or sync'd accross on HA configurations.
