Setting Max Sessions Options for a User
The Max Sessions feature enables you to set the maximum number of
simultaneous connections permitted for this user. For Cisco Secure ACS
purposes, a session is considered any type of user connection supported by
RADIUS or TACACS+, for example PPP, or Telnet, or ARAP. Note, however, that
accounting must be enabled on the AAA client for Cisco Secure ACS to be aware
of a session. All session counts are based on user and group names only.
Cisco Secure ACS does not support any differentiation by type of session—all
sessions are counted as the same. To illustrate, a user with a Max Session count
of 1 who is dialed in to a AAA client with a PPP session will be refused a
connection if that user then tries to Telnet to a location whose access is controlled
by the same ACS.
Note Each Cisco Secure ACS server holds its own Max Sessions counts. There is no
mechanism for Cisco Secure ACS to share Max Sessions counts across
multiple servers. Therefore, if two Cisco Secure ACS servers are set up as a
mirror pair with the workload distributed between them, they will have
completely independent views of the Max Sessions totals.
Tip If the Max Sessions table does not appear, click Interface Configuration,
click Advanced Options. Then select the Max Sessions check box.
