Limit the number of firefox sessions

I would like to know what can be done to prevent more than one session of Firefox from running on Windows XP ? I have a special needs child that locks up this computer by getting as many as 34 sessions activated thus freezing the system up so I would like to be able to prevent her from doing that.

Do you mean multiple windows within the same session?
Real multiple sessions can only be opened each with their own profile and that doesn't seem likely to me.
If multiple windows are opened via the Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut or via the Firefox or File menu then a possibility is to disable the shortcut and remove the menu entries.

Can't limit the number of simultaneous sessions per user

Hi,
I am using Cisco ACS 4.0 as a radius server that authenticate users for Internet access.
Microsoft ISA 2004 is used as Radius client.
When users tries to connect to Internet, the ISA Server forwards requests to Radius server (Cisco ACS) for authentication.
I have constated that some users communicates their passwords to permit acces to Internet for non authorized users.
Even, I have selected Max Sessions property in Cisco ACS to 1 for every user, I can see clearly on ISA 2004 that the same user/password is used from multiple PCs simultaneously.
Internet acess on my company is based on a user / password authentication, and IP adresses are provided by DHCP server.
Can you help by advising me how to limit every user using the internet to only a single session at any time, by using ISA 2004 (proxy) and Cisco ACS 4.0 (Radius Server).
Thank you.
Mustapha.

Limiting every user using the internet to only a single session at a time is not possible with a radius server. You will need to use the proxy server (ISA server) for this task.

Is there a way to limit the number of allowed sessions (or limit based on load) to iWS, and redirect to an error page when this number is reached?

We have a setup with two iWS servers infront of an iAS cluster and want to give a 'nice' error message upfront, instead of running the backend servers to the limit affecting the overall user experience.

Typically a server has a settable parameter to limit concurrent connections. Check the server's documentation.

Limit the number of Telnet Session

I am running Informix program on my Sun Servers with Solaris 8 & 9 (different Server). I need to limit user logins so that a user can only login once with a given single login ID. Once that user login, they cannot login to the Server in another time. (e.g: One user login ID able to login to a single Server once only, they cannot login simultaneuously few times with using a single login ID).
Anyway i can restrict this ? anytools / scripts available ? do there have any built-in function in the Sun Server ?
Thank you

You can do something on the user's (or system's) profile. When the user login in, check & create a lock file. If lock file exists, logout second login attempt.

Limit the number of session per user in the Wired dot1x environment with ISE 1.2

Hello,
I need to check if there is any configuration/workaround to limit the number of sessions/access per user in the Wired dot1x configuration.
I need to check if this feature is available or not to solve the following scenario:
I have 2 SW ports configured to use dot1x authentication with ISE 1.2 server.
If user A connects to the 1st port and authenticated then he will placed on a VLAN based on the authorization profile.
The case, that I need to deny the same user to connect on a different machine with the same credentials.
The ISE itself does not have this feature currently, the only feature available is to limit the number of sessions for the guest user.
Is there any workaround on the Cisco switches to solve this? Cisco WLC has this feature and for the VPN we can limit the number of sessions also from the ASA itself.
Thanks.

limit number of session per user using wired dot1x is not available in 1.3

How can I limit the number of attempts to print a web page

Hi I'm trying to find a resolution for an issue on our network.
We run several kiosk machines that allow customers to print out documents and web pages. However we are finding that we waste a lot of ink due to user's frequently sending the same print task to the printers.
Just yesterday we had someone print out over 70 pages because they just keep clicking print.
I've tried looking for an add-on that would address this but was not able to find one.
My question is this, Is there an internal setting that can be changed in firefox to limit the number of print attempts to say once every 30 seconds, or even a way to make a dialogue box come on screen saying that the print request is currently processing and not allow more printing until the current task is completed.

Sorry, there is no setting within Firefox to prevent that from happening. Once the user sees the "native print dialog" box (what is seen when you do Ctrl + P to initiate printing), the operating system and the printer drivers take it from there.
I have seen something similar to that on kiosk / rental PC's in FedEx Office stores, that notify the user of the cost per page the user wants to send to a printer, and if the user should happen to click again to print the same pages again it asked if you want to spend another $x.xx to print a second copy. Wouldn't be too much different to just shut off the printing of multiple copies of the same document and notify the user of that action.
My advice is to discuss that with whoever set up those kiosks to being with.

Limit the number of concurrent users

Is it possible to limit the number of concurrent users for the application in Websphere or at the http management level?

You don't say what version of Websphere you are using, but here's how you might limit the number of sessions in Websphere 4.0 Advanced Edition (other versions may differ):
Open the Administrative Console. Go down the tree to Nodes, Application Servers and click on the server you want to control (likely Default Server). In the right panel, click on the Services tab. In that panel, click on the Session Manager Service and click the Properties button. That pops up a new dialog.
Select the Advanced tab here. Put a number in the Maximum in-memory Session Count field and uncheck the Allow Overflow checkbox. Click OK, etc, etc, and you'll probably have to restart Websphere.
I said "might" because I don't know if this will do what you want or not. Read the help file associated with that dialog and judge for yourself.

Is there any limit on number of firefox profiles that can be created?

Is there any limit in the number of firefox profiles that can be created?
My issue is
I am currently doing selenium webdriver automation in linux for a device. There are 50 devices of same kind and framework will pickup a device depending on availability. I need to by pass unsigned ssl pages. I am using firefox 14.
I have implemented following but it is not consistent.
everytime a device is chosen
adds cer of device to the cert file in firefox profile
but I am getting sec_error_bad_signature very frequently.
So I started recreating cert [delete and create if by opening firefox] file for every run.
Now this is posing a problem if multiple devices are run at the same time. Hence I want to create separate firefox profile

Not that I have ever found. And at one time I had over 60 Profiles, but after I hit 20 Profiles listed in the profiles.ini file the launch time for Firefox became noticeably longer on WinXP. With remote Profiles, not listed in the profiles.ini file and launched strictly from command line there was no impact on launch time.
How or if that relates to Mac OSX is beyond my knowledge, never owned used a Mac.

FF currently limits the number of open sessions

I currently programmatically launch FF on linux using an execl command. In the run string I use the -P option and launch my application by right clicking on the file that has its own mime type and that is opened by my app before the execl call. (my app takes a data file and creates a temp html file that is handed off to FF via execl) I check the system processes for a current running version of FF. If so I add the no-remote option.
This all works ok. However, if I attempt to launch another copy of my program FF will not allow this even though I am using a tab browser configuration.
I believe that one session of FF per "user" is acceptable but not the limit of one tab for each user other than the default user. I see my FF configuration eventually having several users as I begin to implement separate security policies for certain websites such as financial, casual, javascript development, no cookies, etc.
I typically keep well over 20 tabs open, if FF crashes I can loose everything as if the restore fails I must then hunt up each tab that I had open using history.
Can I get an update on where FF is headed with regards to the maximum number of users windows and the capability to open multiple tabs with a non-default user.

Sounds like you've got a connection leak - rather than increasing the number of open sessions, you need to constrain the application to use fewer!
If you don't ensure that the connection is closed even if an exception is thrown after it is opened but before it is closed then you are liable - likely even - to leak connections.
For example. Bad:
Connection c = getConnection();
... code here ...
c.close();Good:
Connection c = getConnection();
try {
... code here ...
} finally {
c.close();
}The same rule applies to ResultSet and Statement objects - and all three should be closed in the appropriate order (make sure you close result set and statement objects before re-using their reference).
(edit: rephrased ambiguous final para).

Classic Report limit the number of rows displayed

Hi All,
In my application I have a classic Report which show the data of a simple query. For lay-out reasons I want to limit the number of display to 5 instead of the default 15. I've looked in several forums and they told me that I have to set the number of rows in the report attributes.
But it did not what I want. I'm Using APEX 4.1.0 on a Oracle 11G database
My question is: How can I limit the maximum number of rows in a classic SQL Report.

But it did not what I want. I'm Using APEX 4.1.0 on a Oracle 11G databaseHow did it not do what you want? Displayed an error? Displayed no rows? Displayed 15 rows? Displayed some other number of rows? We can only help if we fully understand the nature of the problem.
My question is: How can I limit the maximum number of rows in a classic SQL Report.To display 5 rows per page set the report's Number of Rows attribute to *5*.
However, pagination settings get cached for the duration of the session. For this change to be instantly visible, either log out, restart the brower, and log in again, or manually re-request the page from the browser address bar, adding 'RP' in the ClearCache position in the URL.

How do i limit the number of simultaneous downloads to my ipod touch?

I just purchased a new ipod touch and want to dump my entire icloud library onto it. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to make a smart playlist that includes all my music and then just download the whole playlist (thousands of songs). The problem is, at about 2/3 of the way through a track, the ipod touch automatically starts downloading the next track. At this point, it's trying to download about 50 tracks simultaneously and as a result is taking abotu 5 minutes to download one song. How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads? Is there a faster way to load up a new ipod touch with your icloud library? Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I had no idea I had so much access to Firefox prefs.
It's still a strange design though. Yep, the original setting was set to 30 simultaneous downloads. I set it to four, which would see to make my Mac more usable as four downloads are rolling while all the rest are in queue.
Only probably is, Firefox doesn't just think of what is in the download list as a "download". Once all four downloads are rolling, no more webpages will open! (Strangely, sometimes they will, but very slowly ... but usually not at all.)
Apparently, even a browser tab is a "download" and is stopped once the assigned number of simultaneous downloads is reached.
So I'm still back to not being able to limit my downloads for the benefit of having good use of my browser while downloads are coming in.
Right now, one pages where I have boo-koo downloads I want to initiate at one time, I'm clicking "download", starting the download, going to the downloads list, pausing it, getting another download, pausing it, and so on until I have a complete queue ready to go. Then I start the downloads once I know that I no longer need the internet.
That seems sort of for the birds, doesn't it?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Other specialized download programs get the concept of an active queue and a paused queue with a number-setting to determine the max downloads. Why doesn't Firefox get this? Or does it and have I just still not found it?

How to limit the number of tabs in the tabs bar

I would like to know if it is possible to limit the number of tabs that can be in the tabs bar. The reason is to reduce bandwidth use by any single user on my home network.
Is there a way to set a max limit (under 10) in FF?
If not is there an add-in that is capable of this task?
Also can FF be set to only open one copy of the program at a time?

Solaris 9/10 How to limit the number of SSH connexion(s) to a server?

Hi team
Anybody knows how should I proceed if I want to limit the number of simultanous SSH connexion on my server to 3 for example?
I have tried to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and put line:
# The maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to sshd.
# start:rate:full see sshd(1) for more information.
# The default is 10 unauthenticated clients.
MaxStartups 3:30:60
INSTEAD OF
MaxStartups 10:30:60
It does not work as more than 3 users are able to log in
Any clue?
Thanks in advance

$ man sshd_config
     MaxStartups
             Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated con-
             nections to the SSH daemon.This configuration parameter only controls how many SSHd connections are allowed to be waiting around for authentication. Not how many simultaneous connections there can be overall. Unless you get a burst of connections, this parameter will have no effect.
There is no SSH parameter that will do what you want. It's possible there's a PAM module out there that would deny authentication if some number of established sessions appear to be running, but I'm not familiar with any in particular.

How to Limit the Number of Users Logged into HTML DB

I'm using LDAP based SSO and I'd like to limit the number of users who can log into the application at a given time. If my users are assigned to groups, can I also limit the number of users who belong to a certain group who can be logged in at one time? Can anyone think of any HTML DB APIs that might be useful in doing this?

Well if you apply a "time-out" on the session and if the there is a HTML DB table in the FLOWS account that can be queried to see the number of sessions, then you could restrict HTML DB sessions to a certain number. But if you have multiple HTML DB applications, how are you going to know which HTML DB session goes which application?
It is very ugly. I realistically cannot see a way. Maybe the Oracle folks have a way of limiting the sessions internally within HTML DB
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to limit the number of users? Maybe if you explain that then that might help in coming up with a solution.

Limit the number of open production order

Dear PP experts,
I am working on discrete scenario where client want to limit the number of open production order per work center. The more elaboration is like, for one work center the only specific number of production should remain open (e.g. 5 production order in assembly shop) when user is trying to open 6th production order system should restrict that.
Does any standard functionality available in system or needs development?
Regards,
Shekhar

Dear,
You can do it with avilability check for materail and capacity.
In OPJK do the for your production order type as no release if materail and capacity i missing.
Hope clear to you.
