Setting Maximum Connections per User (Site Level)

You can set the maximum number of simultaneous connections for a user at the Site, User Setting Level, or per user.

The Site level sets the limit for all sub levels. For example, if the Site level Max connections per user is 5, and a user's Max connections per user is set to 10, the user can still only connect to EFT Server 5 times simultaneously.

To set maximum connections per user at the Site level

  1. In the Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

  2. In the left pane, click the Site you want to configure.

  3. In the right pane, click the Connections tab.

  4. In the Network Usage and Security Settings area, next to Connection limits, click Configure. The Connection Limits dialog box appears.

  5. Select the Max connections per user check box, then type or use the arrows to select a number. If the box is cleared, a user can create an unlimited number of concurrent connections to the Site (or according to the limits defined at the User or Settings Template).

  6. Click OK to close the dialog box.

  7. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
