Limit the Number of KVM Sessions per User

You can limit the number of KVM sessions allowed per user for sessions with Dominion KXII, KSXII and KX (KX1) devices. This prevents any single user from using all available channels at once.

When a user attempts a connection to a node that would exceed the limit, a warning message displays with information on the current sessions. The event is logged in the Access Report with the message Connection Denied. The user must disconnect a session on the device before starting another new session.

The full message text is:

Connection Denied: Exceeds the allotted number of sessions for the KVM switch this node is attached to. If possible, please disconnect an existing session to the same KVM switch.

A list of the active connections to the KVM switch is included in the message.

Note: You can filter the Access Report by message text to find out which devices have high traffic. See Access Report.

Limits on number of KVM sessions are set per user group. You can enable limits when you add or edit a user group manually, in Guided Setup, or by CSV import. See Add a User Group.

Dominion KXII devices ONLY also give a warning when the maximum number of connections for the device has been reached. The event is logged in the Access Report with the message Connection Denied.

The full message text is:

Connection Denied: Exceeds the number of available video channels on the KVM switch this node is attached to.'
