Description

This article explains how to limit concurrent user authentication.  

Scope

User Authentication.  

Solution

The same user can be used for multiple concurrent authentications.  Its maximum number can be limited globally or per user-group only via CLI.

Globally

config system global
set policy-auth-concurrent <number_of_max_concurrent_users>
end

Per user-group

config user group
edit <group-name>
set auth-concurrent-override enable
set auth-concurrent-value <number_of_max_concurrent_users>
next
end
