  • Hello,

     

    I do not think if there is any option to limit ssh session per account but there are some other recommendations for securing administrative access as follows -

     

    1. Restricting access from specific source subnet/IPs only.
    2. Monitoring login attempts.

    You can view BIG-IP system login attempts in the Configuration utility and from the command line. You can view the audit log from the command line in the /var/log/audit file or under configuration utility, system--Logs--Audit--List.

     

    3. Configuring automatic logout of idle admin/user sessions.

    This can be done using below command under tmsh - modify /sys sshd inactivity-timeout <seconds>

     

    Also just wanted to know, do you have local users configured on BigIP or using system login IDs?
