Configure the number of user sessions
You can configure the maximum number of users who are allowed to connect to NetScaler Gateway at a particular point in time, at either the global level or on a per virtual server level. Sessions are not created on NetScaler Gateway when the number of users connecting to the appliance exceeds the value that you configure. If the number of users exceeds the number you allow, users receive an error message.
To set the global user limit
When you configure the user limit globally, the restriction applies to all users who establish sessions to different virtual servers on the system. When the number of user sessions reaches the value you set, no new sessions can be established on any virtual server present on NetScaler Gateway.
You set the maximum number of users at the global level when you set the default authentication type for NetScaler Gateway.
-

To set the user limit per virtual server

When you configure the user limit per virtual server, the restriction applies only to users who establish sessions with the particular virtual server. Users who establish sessions with other virtual servers are not affected by this limit.
