Hope it helps. http://docs.fortinet.com/fgt/handbook/cli_html/index.html#page/FortiOS%205.0%20CLI/execute.31.018.html Syntax execute disconnect-admin-session <index_number> To determine the index of the administrator that you want to disconnect, view the list of logged-in administrators by using the following command: execute disconnect‑admin-session ? The list of logged-in administrators looks like this: Connected: INDEX USERNAME TYPE FROM TIME 0 admin WEB 172.20.120.51 Mon Aug 14 12:57:23 2006 1 admin2 CLI ssh(172.20.120.54) Mon Aug 14 12:57:23 2006

Concurrent admin logins can be restricted by a setting in ' system global' :
 config system global
    set admin-concurrent enable
' enable' to allow concurrent admin login from the same IP address, ' disable' to restrict to one login only.

If you are logged in via the Web GUI, that counts as 1. Then you try to login to the CLI via the Console window, that makes it 2. Which is not allowed. So, on this Fortigate you will never be able to login to the CLI! Just kidding - log out from GUI and login via ssh, change the setting, and all' s good.

As a test, can you login 2x using the ssh client?

Then I think it' s a GUI problem. Try to clear the browser cache, and to use a different browser. Even rebooting the FGT might have an effect.
