ACSE - Max. number of simultaneous sessions for a given user?

[nleachman]

Hi,

I know in the ACSE one can limit the number of simultaneous sessions for a given user; but is there a maximum number of sessions any one user can have open if they aren't specifically limited? (i.e. - Is there anything to prevent one user from having, say 50 sessions open?)

Thanks,Nick

Hi Nick,

ACS only provide authentication (and authorization and accounting) services with various ability like limiting LOGIN sessions to/through a device, controlling what command to execure (tacacs+) and so on.

However, I don't think ACS has the ability to limit how many sessions can be opened/established from a client to a server or application. This should be controlled by either by the servers or applications.

A device like firewall (PIX/ASA) can only limit connection to a server, but not from a device.

Rgds,
