This security enhancement is available beginning with SBC Core version 06.02.00R000.
This enhancement enables the EMA application (including EMA in platform mode) to disable concurrent user login sessions. Once a new session is established, any existing session is terminated immediately. When an EMA user attempts to log on, the system validates for any open sessions with the same username. If any existing user session is identified, the user is immediately logged out from the application and allows the new user to log on to the system.
This feature is applicable to all EMA users (local users, radius users, PKI Certificate based users, and CAC users).
