Question

Can we limit the number of concurrent sessions for a specific Named User?

WebLink

Updated February 26, 2015

asked on February 5, 2014

One of our customers would like to setup a generic user for WebLink, but they only want one person at a time to be able to use that account. Is it possible to limit the number of simultaneous connections allowed for an account?

Thanks!

A single named user can have four simultaneous connections to the Laserfiche Server. There isn't a way to decrease that limit.

What is the use case for wanting only one person to use WebLink at a time?

I'm trying to figure that out as well Brian. The request seems odd to me, so I'm going to try to figure out exactly what the customer is trying to accomplish. Thanks!

I don't believe this options is currently available. If I remember correctly, one license can only have 3 simultaneous connections.

Himanshu,

That's not correct. The limit is 4 like Alex stated above. It has not changed between 8.3 and 9.

Nevermind, I took off my response after I saw Alex's answer. :)

We have a Full Named user account which we are using for a custom utility we built using SDK 9.0. We can create upto 12 concurrent sessions?

Has this been changed?

Also, I did a test around 3 to 4 months before (I think) and I opened around 14 instance of LF Client (LF Server and client 8.3) and logged in with the same Full Named User account and I was successful all 14 times. I stopped myself at that point, so I am not sure that how many more connection I would have been able to create. Any thoughts?

The limit hasn't changed. If you have both a named user (4 sessions) and named device (8 sessions) on the same machine, you will be able to open up 12 sessions from that machine using that user.

As far as the Client is concerned, it will try to share sessions so different instances on the same machine as the same user will not hit the limit, since that's not the point of the limit.

Looks like we could also use this, trying to limit session for full named user to only 1 instance/session.
