Concurrent login is allowed for same user account in APIGateway.

[Kuldeep H]

In multiple situation we have observed that there is always possibility of an user to login in API Gateway at same moment with same username from different assets. Ideally this concurrent login should not allow for same user account because in that case existing work can be hampered and also tracing won't possible in such situations. There should be always received a pop-up to existing users if other access is requested for same user account.

Community members, please raise your hand if you have faced same scenario in your project and kindly suggest what could be alternative to overcome this situation.

In our case, we have disabled direct access to the policy manager and started to use jump server where concurrent sessions are not allowed at the same moment. Although this is not a permanent fixture and seeking attention at OEM level to provide any outcome in upcoming releases.

Hello, Kuldeep.

Thank you for your suggestion. We don't plan related changes to Policy Manager. However, we've begun a management interface modernization project, and we will consider it in that context.

Note, for ideas like these, you may want to use the community ideas portal. It allows other users to up vote your ideas which we consider when prioritizing requests on our backlog.
