Want to restrict multiple gui logons

[former_member183044]

Hi all,

Good day...!!

Our management want to restrict multiple gui logons of some users in our system. I created the parameter "login/disable_multi_gui_login" in RZ10, but in one single line only 21 entries is allowing

I want to add more users . How should i add ?

I searched in net about this, but all results are explaining about the disabling of multiple logons.

Please help on the above matter....

Regards

Praveen

Have a look at this SAP note for the solution.

2215040 - Long profile parameters are truncated

Reagan, that's an interesting solution. I wasn't aware of that of adding more users than the line length would permit. Seems a bit complex, though, when probably the real answer is a better design of just who should be allowed to have multiple logins. As Cris says, probably no one really needs this, at least not in production systems, though it's conceivable the sysadmin might in rare cases need to login simultaneously from two different workstations, perhaps for some kind of performance tracing effort.

Praveen, are you sure what you want to do is add lots of users to the exception list? If your management wants to generally restrict multiple logins (which is a good idea -- most license contracts imply a requirement of something like this), then the number of exceptions should be fairly small, or even non-existent. I don't have any exceptions in my landscape, not even for myself, and not even in DEV. I used to have one developer who insisted she needed multiple login capability, but that turned out to be a training issue (multiple sessions is all she really needed, and of course she already had that, just like everyone else).

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matt,

We have only 44 licensed users here. But some senior most users users want to restrict their own ID from others. That's why i checked and found this problem.

Hello Praveen

If this is a production system then go back to the management and make them aware of the SAP licensing conditions. In the past I have seen this practice but only for a few users (5 or 6) just because of the number of service providers involved.

Regarding the implementation of the note, you need to first set the local variables as suggested in the KBA and enter values there (based on what I have understood).

Eg:

_P1=ABC#EFG#HIJ

_P2=KLM#NOP#QRS

Afterwards you will provide these local variables as values to the parameter login/multi_login_users

Eg:

login/multi_login_users=$(_P1)$(_P2)
