Hello Everyone,
We have used Fortigate 1500d in our institution. After the resent changes in our internet access policy, a user can open only two session at same time. If a user want to open third session firstly the user have to logout from one of the open sessions. But same user opened two session and forget logout. When this user wants to start new session the fortigate display session limit message. My question is that is there any way to create a web portal there user can list his open sessions and close one or all of them.
Best regards.
Hi,
first if it's some sort of session based authentication from browser, then once the user closes the browser his session should be torn down. Therefore the issue should not be here.
But your description is a bit weak in terms how user actually authenticate.
Maybe they left RDP connection letting it run on background on TServer.
Therefore I'd suggest that users should learn how to properly close connections without leaving those authenticated but unattended. Just security hint.
So first you have to know what sort of users you deal with and how they were authenticated.
Then you can try&play with REST API to give them ability to get de-authenticated. If you still need that and considered the consequences of allowing access to such feature like de-auth someone, to users which seems to lack responsibility already.
Good luck,
Tomas
