Multi-user Login
FortiWAN's Web UI supports multiple sign-in. The maximum limit for users can log-in concurrently is 20 users, account
permission (See "
Administration\Administrator and Monitor Password
") insensitive. An user get failed to log-in if there
have been 20 users in the Web UI concurrently. FortiWAN Web UI does not accept multiple login from the same host
and the same browser. Users that attempt to login to Web UI via the same host and browser (different tabs or
windows) will be logged out (including the one who is already in Web UI).
Configurations to FortiWAN applied concurrently via Web UI by the multiple users are arranged and processed in order
(one by one). It takes time for system to complete every single configuration applying; therefore, when multiple
configurations are in the queue to be applied, it might take a little extra time to wait for system getting previous
applications complete for the users after clicking the Apply button. Configurations to different functions are queued up
together to be applied. For example, an configuration to Auto Routing (made by user A) will be queued if a
configuration to Multihoming (made earlier by user B) has being processed.
FortiWAN does not provide multi-thread to run concurrent Tunnel Routing Benchmark (See "
"). An alert displays to the users who try to start Tunnel Routing Benchmark Client\Server via WebUI if the
Benchmark Client\Server is already running (started earlier by one user).
