Does CBH Allow Multiple Users to Log In to the Same Resource Concurrently?

CBH allows multiple users to log in to the same resource at the same time. There is no limit on the number of concurrent users who log in to a managed host. However, in some cases, users are not allowed to log in to the same resource concurrently using the same resource account due to the multi-login configurations of the resource.

For example, the number of users who can log in to a Windows host is limited by the concurrent login configuration of the host. By default, a host running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 allows only two users to log in to it concurrently. In this case, a maximum of two users can log in to the Windows host managed in CBH concurrently by default.

To enable more users to log in to a resource concurrently, perform the following operations:

  • Configure the resource server to allow multiple users to log in. For example, configure the remote desktop session host and the remote desktop authorization on Windows hosts.
  • Create multiple accounts on the resource server, manage them in CBH as resource accounts, and grant these resource accounts to users.
