Hi @Aneeket;

The default behavior for the SAS Logon Manager and the other SAS web applications is to permit multiple sign-in sessions.

To disable concurrent sign-in sessions, follow these steps:

1. Log on to SAS Management Console.

2. On the Plug-ins tab, select Application Management > Configuration Manager, right-click SAS Application Infrastructure, and select Properties.

3. In the SAS Application Infrastructure Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

4. Click Add to define a new property.

5. Enter Policy.ConcurrentUserLogins in the Property Name. Enter either deny or logoff in the Property Value field.

6. Click OK. Settings are not applied and made active automatically.

You must restart the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Services or the web application server.

Thank you very much Kalind for your quick response. I am using SAS9.3; I have added this property and also restarted the web application server but still the same situation.

Thanks for clarification @Aneeket;

I have given the steps for SAS 9.4,

for SAS 9.3;

To disable concurrent logon sessions in SAS 9.3, follow these steps:

1 Log on to SAS Management Console.

2 On the Plug-ins tab, select Application Management > Configuration Manager, right-click SAS Application Infrastructure, and select Properties.

3 In the SAS Application Infrastructure Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

4 Click Add to define a new property.

5 Enter Policy.DisableConcurrentUserLogins in the Property Name. Enter true in the Property Value field.

6 Click OK.

And please restart the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Services or the Web application server.

The steps which i have provided to you it was not working for you is because, for SAS 9.3 we have to add Policy.DisableConcurrentUserLogins property with true , and for SAS 9.4 we have different property and value.

Thank you! Thank you very much Kalind! It's working. 

how can we specify a session time-out interval after a specific period, session is not getting logoff after a long period. We have installed IBM-Websphere and we don't have directory 'SAS-install-dir\SASWebReportStudio\4.31\Configurable\wars\sas.webreportstudio\WEB-INF\web.websphere.xml.orig' ;

we have directory '\SAS\EBIEDIEG\Lev1\Web\Common\SASServer1\SASWebReportStudio4.3\CustomContent\wars
\sas.webreportstudio’ and there is not any content like 'web.websphere.xml.orig

please suggest.

Hi @Kalind_Patel ,

How many concurrent logins for the same user account is allowed?

Thanks,

AFAIK, there is no limit on the number of concurrent sessions for the same userid
