We deployed some profiles without the Max Session Per User.

 

We quickly saw the Active Sessions rise like hell.

 

We do notice that some users have A LOT of session for a single device/username.

A username has 348 actives sessions, these are "LTM_APM" sessions.

 

Does anybody know what's going on?

Is it SAML related?

 

I can't figure out what to do right now.

 

EDIT :

We did put back the Max Session per user because it was uncontrolable, a few users could reach the 2500 Active Sessions that we as a maximum with the licence.

But we get disconnected after a few seconds again.

 

We did change to RADIUS authentication and now it looks like it's OK.

It makes NO sense to me right now so if anyone has a clue, it's more than welcome.
